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.

At about 1.45 am, the man heard a loud noise and when he checked on the commotion he came face to face with a gunman.
A scuffle broke out between the gunman and the other man, during which the gun went off. The man was shot in his right foot. The gunman escaped, but before he did he fired another shot at the other man.
