This was revealed when the matter was called in the courtroom of Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday.
On Monday Inspector Suraj Singh and Shaquille Dion were called to the witness stand where they told the court the role they played in the investigation.
Soon after, the prosecutor told the court that he will be calling four other witnesses before the summing up is done. The PI was adjourned for March 25.

Those charged for Rodney’s murder are Osafa Grundell, 39, called “Safo” of Freeman Street, East La Penitence, Georgetown, and James Fraser, 21, called “Dab” of Garnett Street, Georgetown.
The duo was not allowed to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that between April 25 and April 30, 2019, at Norton Street, Lodge, Georgetown, they murdered Rodney.
It was reported that on the day in question, 35-year-old Rodney, a taxi driver of Lot 71 Norton Street, Lodge, Georgetown, was involved in an argument with three individuals.

As the argument escalated, the men then pulled out guns and discharged several rounds at Rodney, who was hit in the left leg.
An injured Rodney was picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he succumbed to his injuries.
Three months ago, the burnt body of 36-year-old Collin Rodney, who was the cousin of Seon and the main witness in the murder PI, was discovered in the trunk of his silver-grey Toyota Allion motor car.
The man went missing while making his way to court to testify in the PI.
He was at the scene when his cousin was murdered.
