Sean Luke -
FOUR months after they pleaded not-guilty to the brutal murder of six-year-old Sean Luke in 2006, prosecutors have presented all their evidence against Akeel Mitchell and Richard Chatoo and have closed their case.
Mitchell and Chatoo, who were teenagers when they were charged with the boy’s murder on a date unknown, between March 25 and 29, 2006, in Couva, entered their not-guilty pleas on February 12, before Justice Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds, having opted for a judge-only trial.
On Monday, the State closed its case after presenting evidence from 37 witnesses as well as DNA results linking Mitchell to the crime and a video-taped confession by Chatoo.
