Judge allows DNA evidence in Sean Luke murder trial
Sean Luke -
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) evidence will form part of the prosecution’s case against the two men indicted for the murder of six-year-old Sean Luke in 2006.
Opposition to the admission of the DNA evidence came from one of the men charged with the boy’s murder in the form of a motion to stay the indictment against him because of the delay by the State to disclose the evidence, but this was shot down by the judge presiding over the trial.
On Wednesday, Justice Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds ruled she did not agree that Akeel Mitchell would not receive a fair trial as his attorneys had argued on Monday. Mitchell’s co-accused, Richard Chatoo did not object to the evidence being led.

Sean Luke trial: One accused to object to DNA evidence
Sean Luke, 6, was murdered in 2006.
ONE of the men charged with the brutal murder of six-year-old Sean Luke intends to object to the admissibility of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) evidence, while the second man will give evidence at the trial.
Wednesday’s sitting of the virtual trial of Akeel Mitchell and Richard Chatoo ended before lunch because of the unavailability of the witness scheduled for the day, police officer Leith Jones. He had to be tested for covid19 after a colleague tested positive for the virus.
Nevertheless, two witnesses, whose testimonies were brief, gave evidence, but it was during trial management discussions that Mitchell’s attorney indicated an objection to the DNA evidence which the State hopes to lead at the trial.
