Photographs tendered into evidence
The trial of Delon ‘Fatboy’ Reynolds, who is accused of murdering self-confessed death squad informant, George Bacchus, continued yesterday at the Demerara Assizes before Justice Claudette La Bennett and a 12-member jury.
Detective Sergeant Cedric Gravesande completed his evidence and the state called Police Constable, Shen Grandison, the photographer who took pictures of the crime scene when Bacchus’s body was discovered.
Those photographs were yesterday tendered into evidence.
Bacchus’s nephew, Dereck Prince, was also called to the witness stand, but he did not complete his evidence in chief. He will take the stand once more today as the case continues.
On Monday, Justice La Bennett admitted the caution statement as evidence when the second voir dire (trial within a trial) in this matter concluded.
The post mortem report on Bacchus was tendered as evidence and there were no objections by defence counsel, Peter Hugh.
Earlier this month, the trial was aborted because one of the jurors was related to a witness.
Bacchus was found dead in bed at his Lot 76 Princes Street, Lodge residence, on June 24, 2004. He had made bombshell revelations about a death squad operating in the city, for which he said he once gathered information.
Funeral parlour co-owner, Debra Douglas, and her nephew Fabian ‘Fabie’ Jessop had been jointly charged with Reynolds with Bacchus’s murder but they were subsequently freed due to insufficient evidence.
