Defence Attorney Michael Somersall yesterday continued his cross-examination of Angela McPherson, who is a state witness in the trial of Bel Air robbery accused Chandrada Rampersaud.
The witness was asked how she recognized the person who made a call to the phone of Rampersaud’s daughter, Annie Ramsood, about half an hour before the robbery was committed.
Mc Pherson told the court that she is familiar with Rampersaud’s voice because she and the accused had worked together at Mr. Panday’s residence for about eight years.
The defense lawyer suggested to Mc Pherson that a person’s voice on the phone differs from how it sounds when the person is present.
She agreed with Mr. Somersall but said she is familiar with Rampersaud’s voice, as she usually calls for his daughter, Annie, at least once per week and she usually chats with Rampersaud.
She said that she saw the accused prior to the robbery in 2011 as she had lived in close proximity to Rampersaud and would often travel in the same bus to Georgetown.
Ms. McPherson said that one of the robbers had asked for a “boy cut hair lady” and she thought of Annie Ramsood’s mother, since she was the only person connected to the home with “boy cut hair”.
But Mc Pherson agreed when attorney-at-law Somersall suggested that she did not know if Chandrada Rampersaud had “boy cut hair” at that time since she was not employed at the Panday’s home then.
Ms. Shaleta Lall, who was cross-examined after McPherson left the stand, and who stated that she was present when the robbery occurred, also stated that one of the robbers had asked for the “boy cut hair lady”.
She also said at that time the only “boy cut hair lady” she thought about was Chandrada Rampersaud.
The defence then sought permission from Magistrate Priya Sewnarine Beharry to continue cross examination at another date.
The matter continues in January 2013.
