The preliminary inquiry into the murder of cattle farmer Shafeek Bacchus continued yesterday and 37-year-old Aubrey Price, an eyewitness in the case, was called to the stand to give his evidence-in-chief before Magistrate Adrian Thompson.
When Price entered the witness box to give his testimony he was unable to start because he told the magistrate that he was hungry and he had "bad feelings".
Magistrate Thompson then adjourned the case for half of an hour to allow the witness to get something to eat.
Price told the court that he was a labourer and gave his address as 76 Princes Street, Lodge. After he had completed his evidence-in-chief, he was cross-examined by attorney-at-law Compton Richardson.
Richardson was unable to finish his cross-examination because State Counsel Simone Morris told the magistrate that there was another case, which she had to attend. Magistrate Thompson then adjourned the PI until Thursday.
Attorney-at-law Vic Puran is representing Ashton King while Richardson is appearing on behalf of Shawn Hinds. State Counsel Morris is appearing in the capacity of prosecutor.
King, Hinds and Mark Thomas were charged on January 16 with the murder of Shafeek Bacchus on January 5 as he sat outside his Princes Street home. Thomas called 'Kerzorkee' of Auby's Wine Bar died at the Georgetown Hospital in February in mysterious circumstances.
