FOUR people, including a former special forces soldier who had been on remand for the past 19 years accused of murdering a real estate businessman in 2005, have been released from prison.
The reason for their release as stated by Justice Nalini Singh on Monday was even though the prosecution was able at trial to provide evidence that the four had kidnapped 52-year-old Gerald Gopaul, there was no evidence to suggest they had carried out the actual murder.
Before the court were Paul Boodoo, Ricardo Stevenson, Martin Critchlow and Sherwyn Crystom.
