THE anticipated new trial for convicted murderer, Barbados-born businessman Omar ‘Best’ Collymore, failed to get off the ground Wednesday after the prosecution requested more time to put its house in order.

Collymore, who is currently serving a double life sentence for masterminding the January 2018 murder of his wife, Simone Campbell-Collymore, and her cab driver Winston Walters, is to answer charges of conspiring to murder another woman with whom he was in a relationship.

He was indicted afresh in November 2025, alongside co-accused Carey Jonas, Dwayne Pink, Michael Adams and Shaquille Edwards, for illegal possession of firearm, shooting with intent, and conspiracy to murder the woman who has not been named.
