After being freed, Morvant man to face trial again for WASA fete murder
Friday 26 February 2021
ALMOST three years after he was freed by a High Court judge who upheld an application challenging the reliability of the evidence in the case, a 41-year-old Morvant man will be re-indicted for the murder of a man after a WASA fete in 2009.
Frankie Bartholomew, of Second Caledonia, was freed of murdering Marcus Mark on March 7, 2018.
On Friday, Justices of Appeal Alice Yorke-Soo Hon, Maria Wilson and Malcolm Holdip gave their decision in an appeal by the prosecution against Justice Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds’ refusal to admit three statements by Mark’s girlfriend Ornella Nanton, the State’s main witness in the case.
