Sixty-year-old murder accused Jasodra Jagmohan was wheeled into the San Fernando High Court yesterday, where she is on trial for allegedly killing her husband.
The Penal woman is on trial before Justice Althea Alexis-Windsor charged with the June 2007 murder of her husband Jagindranan Jagmohan, 57, also known as Rex, who was strangled.
Jagmohan was transported on a stretcher from the Women’s Prison in a prison van. Upon her arrival and departure from the court, the stretcher was converted into the wheelchair.
She is charged with murdering her husband sometime between June 22, 2007 and June 26, 2007, at Clarke Road, Penal. Upon her arraignment on Thursday she pleaded not guilty. However, attorney Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj, SC, who has a fiat to prosecute the case, did not lead any evidence before the 12-member jury and alternates. Instead, the jury was asked to return on July 3 to allow the court to deal with legal issues in their absence. Jagmohan is being represented by attorneys Prakash Ramadhar and Michael Rooplal.
