said she saw a man with a knife behind his back standing in the doorway of the Canterbury Bar and Grill.

Zenja A. Jones told a Supreme Court jury yesterday that as she was walking from Penno's Wharf towards King's Square she was passing by the bar when she heard a voice saying "do you want a piece of me''.

"I looked up the steps leading to the bar and saw Ming coming down. And I heard another person saying `do you want a piece of this knife, I have a knife'.

"I saw that the other man had a knife behind his back and I continued to walk down the street.'' Jones added that when she came back along Water Street five minutes later, she saw Ming laying on the ground. "I saw a lot of blood and people were around him.'' Winston Wellington Burgess, 31, of Turkey Hill, St. George's is charged with unlawfully killing Ming and intentionally causing him grievous bodily harm on September 10, 1994.

Director of emergency services at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital Dr.

Edward Schultz said that when Ming was brought into the hospital he was in "full cardiac pulmonary arrest. He had no heart sound, pulse, respiration or blood pressure, he was pale, and his pupils were unreactive.

"There were two stab wounds, one small one outside of the left nipple and another larger one below the chest. We continued to try and resuscitate Ming but none of our efforts had any results. I pronounced him dead at 11.20 p.m.

on September 10 last year.'' Consultant pathologist at the hospital Dr. John Winwick told the court that he performed an autopsy on Ming and found that he had one knife wound that was an inch long and the other was seven-eighth of an inch. "There was also bruising around the wounds which indicates the hilt of the knife banging against the skin.'' Dr. Winwick concluded that Ming's death was caused by "penetrating stab wounds to the heart''.

Cherie L. Astwood, who was at the bar with her fiancee Paul Muhammad said she heard Burgess and Ming arguing and watched them go down the steps.

"I followed my fiancee to the steps and I saw Oopie kick the accused in the face. He fell back and then they started to fist fight. I heard my fiancee say drop the knife and then I looked and saw an object in Burgess' hand. It looked like a knife.

"Burgess said `drop the knife, I'll kill him'. I did not see any actual stabbing. I saw Oopie fall back, and his head was against the steps and that's when I saw the blood on his shirt and pants. Burgess turned his back and went out the door. I went back upstairs and told people to call the Police.'' When questioned by Burgess' lawyer Mr. Delroy Duncan, Astwood said she never saw a woman trying to calm Ming down before the fight or when Ming and Burgess briefly separated.

She also said she saw Ming push Burgess against the wall, jump on him and hit his head against the wall. "It was a fierce fight, most of the time I was trying to keep my fiancee away.'' The trial continues on Monday before Puisne Judge the Hon. Mrs. Justice Wade.

Burgess is represented by Mr. Duncan and Mr. Juan Wolffe and the Crown is represented by Attorney General Mr. Elliott Mottley and senior Crown counsel Mr. Brian Calhoun.
