When the trial of Aziza Kebret Tsgaye Clarke continued before Justice Carlisle Greaves in the No. 3 Supreme Court yesterday, telephone analyst, Station Sergeant Kirk Alleyne, testified that when he analysed the phone records of both Clarke and Selwyn Stuart, obtained from Digicel and Flow, he found that three calls had been made on the date in question.
Clarke, of Bonnetts, Brittons Hill, St Michael, is accused of assisting an offender, in that knowing or believing Hakeem Stuart had committed murder, she assisted him by transporting him from Briar Hall to Graeme Hall, Christ Church, an act intended to impede his lawful apprehension on March 21, 2019.
During his evidence yesterday, Alleyne went on to explain that the number beginning 840 was Selwyn’s, who is Hakeem Stuart’s father, while Clarke’s number began with 257.
The first call was made at 2:07 p.m. and was an incoming call from Selwyn’s number to Clarke’s, and lasted 41 seconds. At the time, Selwyn’s cellular phone was routing through a cellular site at Sheraton Centre, while the accused woman’s phone was routing through a cellular site located at Britton’s Hill, St Michael.
Alleyne said the second call was again made from the phone Selwyn owned to the one Clarke owned, at 2:11 p.m. While Selwyn’s phone was still routing through a cellular site at Sheraton, by then Clarke’s phone was routing through a cellular site at the Sagicor building in Wildey. The call was 71 seconds long. The last call from Selwyn’s phone to Clarke’s was made at 2:14 p.m. and by then, Clarke’s phone was routing through a cell site at Sheraton Centre as well, which in his view, was consistent with the mobile phone being in a moving vehicle. In response to a question from Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Krystal Delaney, the witness agreed that he could not say who answered or who made the calls, but he knew they were answered and that the phone owned by Selwyn had been static at Sheraton Centre the entire time.
Asked by King’s Counsel Michael Lashley whether mobile device information could give an exact location, Alleyne replied that while the information did not give “an exact location”, it related to the cell site location.
The final two prosecution witnesses are expected to give evidence tomorrow when the case continues.
Senior State Counsel Kevin Forde is also appearing on behalf of the State, while defence attorneys Angella Mitchell-Gittens SC, Sade Harris, Markaila Brathwaite, Brittany Browne, and Summaiya Patel are also acting on behalf of the accused. ( SD)
