Ze Selassie was spotted by a friend driving at a "ridiculous" speed out of Ferry Reach on the night he allegedly killed Rhiana Moore.

Mason Davis, a mason by trade who worked with Selassie on construction projects, told Supreme Court he was so concerned about his driving that he wrote down his car registration number.

His evidence came as a string of Crown witnesses detailed sightings that prosecutors say are circumstantial evidence that Selassie murdered the pregnant 14-year-old schoolgirl.

The pair are said to have been involved in a secret relationship prior to Rhiana's death, with her mother unaware of both the relationship and the pregnancy.

Rhiana went missing around 9.20 p.m. on Friday, May 30 2008 after leaving a church youth group in Hamilton Parish. Selassie, aged 33, of Battery Road, St. David's, denies committing premeditated murder on or about that date.

Mr. Davis told the court he was a rear-seat passenger in a car heading out of St. George's towards Hamilton Parish that night, having left the White Horse restaurant in the town sometime between 10 and 10.30 p.m.

"There was nothing out of the ordinary until we got to Ferry Reach and saw a little blue car coming out of Ferry Reach at, I would say, a ridiculous speed. I could see it was my friend Ze."

Mr. Davis explained he wrote the registration number down as he assumed his friend had his daughter in the car and was concerned about his driving. He noted that the passenger seat was down and Selassie did not stop at the stop sign before heading east towards St. George's. The envelope with the registration number on it was made an exhibit for the prosecution case.

The court also heard yesterday from Shawn Bremar, a Marine and Ports worker who keeps his own private boat at a yard in St. David's. Mr. Bremar told the court he arrived there around 10.15 to 10.20 p.m. that night and spent around 25 minutes checking his boat.

"As I arrived I could hear in the distance somebody arguing or fighting or fussing," he explained. When he got up onto his boat, he could see a male standing outside a dark-coloured car about 40-60 yards away. He described the man as slim and around 5ft 5 to 5ft 6ins tall.

"He looked agitated or irritated. There seemed to be some arguing going on," said Mr. Bremar, explaining that the man was slamming his hands on the car roof and driver's door, and there was someone sitting in the driver's seat although he could not tell who.

"I didn't hear much at first. It was only as I was getting to leave I heard the gentleman yell out 'what are you doing to me Rhi?'," said the witness.

Rhiana's mother Juliann Moore has previously told the court that she was known as 'Rhi' to her family. Mr. Bremar said the argument lasted the whole time he was at the boatyard.

The trial also heard from two men who wash cars at the City Hall car park. Gregory Dill, of St. David's, said he'd known Selassie for around 20 years and Selassie would occasionally give him a lift from St. David's into town. He'd been washing his blue Suzuki Swift car once every couple of weeks for several months. Mr. Dill said that around 7 to 7.15 a.m on Saturday, May 31 Selassie brought his car to be washed.

"He came in speeding across the car park like there was some sort of urgency," he told the jury. Fellow car washer Warren Hall did the job, with Mr. Dill noting that the car and tyres were covered in bright orange soil. "It looked fresh and it was very bright orange soil. It had probably just happened sometime that morning," he explained.

He said that he jokingly asked construction worker Selassie if he'd gone into farming and went on to tell the jury: "He looked very exhausted. His eyes were very red. He had a very tired look about him. He looked like he had been out all night or something...and looked depressed as well."

Car washer Mr. Hall said the small blue car was "real dirty" with soil all around the wheels and tyres which was "still wettish." He had to wash the exterior twice to get rid of the dirt and he also had to clean the front foot mats.

Chief Inspector Darrin Simons told the court that Mr. Hall took part in an identification parade using computer images on the evening of May 31 and picked the defendant as the man he'd seen.

At the end of yesterday's proceedings, Chief Justice Richard Ground revealed that he'd had a note from the foreman of the jury. It requested that members of the public gallery be asked not to "interact" with members of the jury.

The Chief Justice warned that any member of the public gallery who does anything to cause further problems faces being ejected from court, banned and possibly charged with contempt of court.

The case continues.
