In Trinidad and Tobago, two men were convicted of murder and sentenced to death while a third will face a new trial for the 2005 murder of 24-year-old construction worker Collin Delandro, who was shot eight times in the head and died several days later at hospital. The three, Anderson Mapp, Ryan Stephen and Darryl Charles Bissoon, were before Justice Carla Brown-Antoine, charged with the murder of Delandro on June 6, 2005. After five days of receiving instructions from trial judge, Justice Brown-Antoine, the 12-member jury returned guilty verdicts for Mapp and Bissoon, but they were unable to arrive at a unanimous decision for Stephen, who will now face a retrial as ordered by the judge. Twelve jurors and three alternates were selected to hear the evidence against the three and were told by prosecutor Randall Hector, in his opening address, that the three men before the court armed themselves with guns and opened fire on a family at Quarry Road, San Juan, on May 27, 2005.
Selwyn Mohammed, Ryan Cameron and Amerelle Francis are defending the three men before the court.
