DIRECTOR of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Roger Gaspard, SC, says there is no delay in filing an indictment against the 11 men accused of murdering former special prosecutor Dana Seetahal, SC, as he was still in the process of assessing documents from the magistrate's court to make a determination on whether there was "cogent evidence to support the serious charge" of murder.

Gaspard provided a detailed update in court in response to a lawsuit filed by two of the accused – Rajaee Ali and Earl Richards – challenging the delay by the Office of the DPP in filing an indictment in their case, following an order of High Court judge Carol Gobin, on June 25.

Gobin is presiding over the case filed by Ali and Richards.
