After waiting for some five years to have an appeal heard in the Court of Appeal, brothers Allan,
Cheap NBA Jerseys China, Marvin and Patrick Ramnauth had their matter called yesterday before Justice Ian Chang, Justice Yonette Cummings-Edwards and Justice James Bovell-Drakes.Back in September 2003, Marvin, Patrick and Allan along with Tulsie Seelall were charged with the kidnapping, rape and murder of Achama Madramootoo, which occurred between September 13 and 14 of the same year. In 2007, the three brothers were sentenced to death by Justice Dawn Gregory for the offence while the fourth accused had his charges withdrawn.At yesterday’s hearing the three brothers were present in court along with their lawyer Mursaline Bacchus and several close relatives, including their mother and father.Some of the grounds for appeal presented by the lawyer include:The Learned Trial Judge erred in not directing a verdict of not guilty upon the submission of no case to answer by Counsel for the Appellants there being no evidence that: the Appellants had committed the offence of murder by agreeing with ‘Johnny’ to commit a felony with violence upon the deceased.Bacchus in his presentation further stated to the court that there was a non-direction amounting to a serious mis-direction when The Learned Trial Judge failed to direct the jury on the ingredients of the felony of abduction,

It was also put to the court that the Learned Trial Judge mis-directed to the jury on the law relating to joint enterprise thus depriving the Appellant of the chance of an acquittal.Meanwhile Attorney-at-law Joann Barlow, who is representing the state, was told that the matter will be put down until Friday when she will be allowed to raise her arguments.Initial reports are that the brothers along with Seelall abducted the woman,

A caution statement by Allan Ramnauth said that they were drinking when a man by the name of ‘Johnny’ pointed a gun at them and told them to go to the woman’s home and call her out. He said she did not respond and the man then told them to break down the wall and they did so with the help of the man.By then, Allan said,

While taking her to the backdam he said the man stopped three times and “made love” to the woman and there was a confrontation between the two.He said after the last stop the man ordered the woman to walk into the trench and pushed her head down into the water. Allan said he threatened them and told them not to say anything.Yesterday’s hearing appeared to be somewhat of a relief for the Ramnauth family who have been waiting for this day. The appellants’ father Arnold Ramnauth who spoke with this publication said it has been very painful and costly to see his three sons languishing away in jail.The man said he feels his sons have been given a raw deal since the main suspect in the matter was set free,

Mr. Ramnauth opined that his sons were not given a fair trial and that even before charges were laid he was told by an investigating rank that the matter would have ended if he had money.
