POLICE personnel were forced to rush in and restore order in the jury room at the Supreme Court on Monday after tensions boiled over following a split in their verdict during deliberations in the Andre Ruddock murder trial.
Eventually, after two hours of deliberations, the jury ultimately found Ruddock guilty of murder in the gruesome killing of 39-year-old Taneka Gardner, whose throat was cut at Pathways International Kingdom Restoration Ministries in St James on October 17, 2021, in what was said to be a human sacrifice ritual.
Earlier, after trial judge Justice Leighton Pusey completed his summation, the jurors were sent off to deliberate at 12:46 pm.
