Jury to deliberate in “Two Colours” murder trial tomorrow
A group of 12 jurors will commence deliberation on Tuesday on a murder charge in Lennox Wayne’s trial in connection with the July 2014 fatal shooting of Lusignan, East Coast Demerara (ECD) cosmetologist, 19-year-old Ashmini Hariram.
Testimony began in the trial on June 8 after Wayne, called “Two Colours”, pleaded not guilty to a charge for the capital offence of murder. He is on trial before Demerara High Court Judge Jo Ann Barlow.
According to reports, the teenager, also called “Monisha Hariram”, was shot at close range in her face just after disembarking a minibus in her community. She was relieved of $8000 in cash.
Murder accused: Lennox Wayne
It was reported that a tall, brown-skinned man emerged from a burgundy-coloured motor car and relieved Hariram of the money before shooting her.
The gunman then re-entered the motor car, and it sped off. Media reports are that Wayne gave Police a caution statement detailing his role in the woman’s execution. On September 8, 2014, Wayne was charged with the teenager’s murder; he has been on remand ever since.
Wayne is being represented by Attorneys-at-Law Ronald Daniels, Kiswana Jefford, and Edriana Stephens, while Senior State Counsel Lisa Cave in association with State Counsel Latifah Elliott are appearing on behalf of the prosecution.
