– Victim’s brother recalls stabbing
The murder trial of Troy Collymore is underway at the High Court in Georgetown. Collymore, a resident of Plaisance, East Coast Demerara is charged with the murder of Plantain Chip vendor, Jermaine Simon.
Simon was reportedly stabbed several times in the vicinity of America Street, Georgetown on (Emancipation Day) August 1, 2012.
The deceased, of South Better Hope, East Coast Demerara, was allegedly stabbed with an ice pick while he and his elder brother, Sherwin Simon, were walking along America Street.
Yesterday, the victim’s brother became the first person to testify before Justice Franklyn Holder and a mixed panel of jurors.
Simon told the court that he saw when the accused stabbed his brother several times. He said that his brother would usually ‘walk and sell’ plantain chip for a living.
The witness said that the accused and his brother were engaged in an argument before it turned into a physical altercation.
He said that his brother was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) where he succumbed the following day.
