(Kaieteur News) – Two West Coast Berbice men who were accused of murder were this week acquitted of the offence at the Demerara High Court and walked out of the courtroom free men after spending approximately five years on remand.
James David, 23, of No. 10 Village, West Coast Berbice, and Leeward Chung, 25, of Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice, were found not guilty by a 12-member jury earlier in the murder of 61-year-old Bheim Evans.
Three other co-accused were, however, found guilty of murder by the same jury.
