Men Accused of Murdering Estella Scott Roberts in Court

Men Accused of Murdering Estella Scott Roberts in Court

(Grand Cayman - CITN) -


Both men accused of murdering Estella Scott-Roberts in October last year now have full legal representation.

The men appeared before the Judge this morning. Larry Ricketts will be represented by Jamaican QC Delano Harrison and Junior Counsel Lee Freeman. Kirkland Henry will have Ian Bourne as lead counsel and Ben Tonner will be the junior.

Trouble finding senior counsel to represent the two accused men pushed back the date of the trial. However, the trial will start on 21 January 2010.

The men are expected back in court before that date though, to elect whether they want a trial by jury or judge alone. That election will happen on the 14 January.
