Police ballistics expert, Floyd Hosannah, yesterday took the stand as the murder trial of former national volleyball
stalwart and popular New Amsterdam businessman, Charles Bristol, continued in the New Amsterdam High Court.
Hosannah was led in his evidence by Prosecutor and Attorney-at-Law Natasha Backer.
Hosannah told the court that he has been a firearm and ballistics expert for 16 years.
He stated that he received a parcel from Corporal Walters containing a .32 pistol and 24 rounds of ammunition.
The items were subsequently tested and it was found that the rounds were live and that the firearm was in working order.
He said that he fired eight rounds from the gun.
Under cross-examination by Attorney-at-Law, Kim Kyte, the police officer stated that he could not have determined how recently the gun was fired.
Bristol, 53, of Main Street and Lad Lane, New Amsterdam, and owner of the Bristol Mall, is accused of killing Errol Lindo, 51, on Wednesday April 16, 2014 at High Dam, Caracas, East Canje, Berbice.
The matter is being heard in the Berbice High Court by Justice Franklyn Holder and a mixed jury.
Henry is being represented by Attorneys-at-Law Nigel Hughes and Kim Kyte, in association with Tamya Warren Clements and Shabana Barnwell.
Testifying so far have been Travis Crandon, Rookmin Dindyal, Indranie Nandalall called “Meena” at whose place Henry sought refuge, Agnes Joseph, Cassandra Arthur, Police Sergeant Curtis Cort and Corporals Brian Caesar and Phillip Walters.
The trial is expected to be continued on Monday.
