2 go on trial today for moneychanger’s murder

This morning, a trial will commence for Kerwin Dos Santos and George Hope, who are jointly charged with murdering a Water Street, Georgetown moneychanger during a robbery.
Simone Morris-Ramall is the presiding Judge and 12 jurors will hear the evidence in the case.
Dos Santos and Hope, both 26, of Freeman Street La Penitence, Georgetown, have pleaded not guilty to the indictment which stated that they murdered Sean Nurse on February 4, 2018.
The defence lawyers are from the law firm Hughes, Fields and Stoby. Attorneys-at-Law Marisa Edwards, Tanesha Saigon, Abiola Lowe, and Delon Fraser are the prosecutors.
According to reports, the well-known moneychanger, of Lot 33 Shopping Plaza, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was sitting in a chair at the corner of Avenue of the Republic and America Street in Georgetown when he was approached by a man armed with a handgun.
The man demanded that Nurse hand over a bag containing an undisclosed sum of local and foreign currencies. Nurse resisted, and in retaliation, the bandit pulled the trigger, shooting him once in his head. Nurse, called “Fabulous” collapsed, and died almost immediately. The alleged culprit then escaped on foot, north on Avenue of the Republic and then east into Charlotte Street.
Police Headquarters had said that a 9mm spent shell was found at the scene, and that several persons were questioned as to the description of the shooter. Reports stated that the man who shot and killed Nurse was clad in a red hoodie and a pair of brown trousers. (G1)
