The murder trial of a man accused of killing another in Wotten Waven in 2013 began on Tuesday.

Kenny George died from multiple cutlass wounds after an altercation with Asher James in the community.

The incident took place on September 20, 2013 at around 7:30 pm and George was pronounced dead at the Princess Margaret Hospital.

A nine-member jury, comprising of three men and six women, is hearing the matter.

Some 15 witnesses are expected to take the stand and on Tuesday police photographer Ashworth Gordon gave evidence.

Leading the state’s case is State attorney attached to the office of the DPP, Sherma Dyrample, assisted by Fernillia Felix and Kalita Benjamin.

The defense is led by Geoffrey Letang, who is assisted by Ann Riviere.

Justice Errol Thomas is the presiding Judge.

    Killing a man with a cutlass? This is wicked to do to another. What did he do to you to deserve that?
    It is not impossible he could do this to others.
    Well, murderers belong in jail for life – twenty-five years and more without parole.

      If the deceased died from multiple cutlass wounds, it sounds more like he was the cornered one to me. Just saying.

    I never get why these cases on such a small Island are delayed so much, now all mistah going and get is a slap on this wrist for that serious crime because of all the time that pass there. All the passion and emotion and everything else die down by now and he will come in the court talking about I was young this, and I’m a changed man… Mr wait and ambush the guy from what I heard and viscously chopped the guy till his neck was hanging on a thin piece of skin. Not to mention when the same one accused of murder was in prison he was steady causing fights…
