Hunted for years in connection with crimes of murder and robbery, London died, too, when Police and soldiers laid siege to an apartment building at Eccles, East Bank Demerara, in which he and Forde were holding out on February 9, 2000.

Testifying, also before a five-member jury of four men and one woman, the first witness was Forde’s aunt, Dawn Dover, of Lot ‘LL’ Bent Street.

She said she was called on February 13, 2000 to identify the body of her niece and, at Le Repentir mortuary; she identified the deceased by a gold tooth, her face and ‘rasta’ hairstyle.

Dover said four policemen and a ‘white woman’, whom she did not know, were present, as well, for the identification.

The witness said both of her niece’s legs, under her right breast and on her lower back had gunshot wounds.

The right index finger tip was splintered and the nail was not visible, said Dover, who took over the body for burial at Le Repentir cemetery, also in Georgetown.

The second witness, electrician Gerald Hackett, of Lot 150 Bagotstown, another East Bank Demerara address, was employed on a contractual basis by Norman Trotz, proprietor of the apartment building, on February 14, 2000.

Hackett said Trotz took him from his home to the Lot 223 Anaida Avenue, Eccles guesthouse, where he removed some electrical appliances from the burnt out two-storey edifice.

The witness said he entered apartment four on the bottom flat and disconnected a few pipe fittings.

In there was an already dismantled toilet bowl and he lifted the cover and saw a cellular telephone in a black case.

On instructions from Trotz, Hackett said he transferred the bowl to apartment three.

Meantime, Trotz called the Police and the woman officer who arrived was given the phone after she signed a piece of paper on which the serial number was written.

Hackett said he went to London’s funeral but could not see the body because of the crowd at Square of the Revolution in the city.

Attorney-at-law Mr. Vic Puran, who is watching the interest of the Police, declined cross-examination of either witness.

The inquiry continues on March 26.
