The results of DNA testing on samples collected by homicide detectives in the brutal murder of Sean Luke, over a decade ago, are still not available.
The situation was revealed by State prosecutor Sabrina Dougdeen-Jaglal, yesterday, as the case came up for a virtual hearing before Justice Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds.
While addressing pre-trial issues before Ramsumair-Hinds, Dougdeen-Jaglal said that the samples were submitted to the Forensic Science Centre in 2006 and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has yet to receive the results.
Dougdeen-Jaglal expressed hope that the process would be completed soon so the reports could be used when the trial of the case commences later this year.
