One month after two former policemen who are charged with the murder of businessman, Godfrey Scipio, voiced their dissatisfaction at the delay of the Preliminary Inquiry (PI), the matter was yet again given another adjournment date.
Derwin Eastman who was once Best Cop for ‘A’ Division and his colleague, Jemison Williams, who were both attached to the Brickdam Police Station are currently on remand for the capital offence.
The duo was not required to plead to the charge which alleged that on October 12 last, at David Street, Kitty, Georgetown, they murdered Godfrey Scipio.
Yesterday when the matter was called in Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore Courtroom, the Magistrate told the court that she would have to grant an adjournment in the matter. Her reason for the decision is unknown.
The men were told to return to court today for the continuation of the PI.
Aubrey Bobb, 26, of Kitty was the first person to be charged with the murder of the businessman and he is currently on remand.
The allegation against Eastman and Williams stems from a statement Bobb gave to the police, implicating the former police ranks in the crime.
According to reports, Bobb alleged that Eastman is the mastermind behind ‘Sagga’s’ murder since he allegedly provided the weapon.
It was reported that Scipio, 58, was shot dead shortly after leaving a Kitty hotel. He was also robbed of a gold chain.
