The pre-trial challenge of evidence in the Sean Luke murder trial continued on Monday with the testimony of a retired inspector of police who was instrumental in the investigations into the child’s murder.
Retired Insp Gobin Harripersad gave his evidence from the San Fernando High Court at the trial which is being conducted both virtually and in-person.
Before Justice Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds at a judge-only trial are Akeel Mitchell and Richard Chatoo. Harripersad will return on Wednesday to continue his evidence in Chatoo’s challenge of the evidence called a voir dire.
Mitchell’s voir dire has already been completed, and, through his defence statement which was read to him last week, has denied committing the brutal act.
He intends to rely on alibi and denial as his defence and claimed he was not present at the alleged scene of the crime.
It is alleged that on a date unknown, between March 25 and 29, 2006, in Couva, the two men murdered Sean Luke.
The main trial was originally expected to begin on March 15, but that was dependent on the completion of the two challenges which have been interrupted from time to time by connectivity issues.
Chatoo is represented by attorneys Evans Welch, Kelson Pope and Gabriel Hernandez while Mitchell is represented by attorneys Mario Merritt, Randal Raphael and Kirby Joseph. Representing the prosecution are State attorneys Sabrina Dougdeen-Jaglal, Anju Bhola and Sophia Sandy-Smith.
