Phone data discussed during murder trial
A data analyst told the Supreme Court about phone several phone exchanges leading up to and after a young father was killed in 2011.
Lauren Bell, with the Bermuda Police Service, testified during the trial of Devon Hewey, who is accused of murdering 22-year-old Randy Robinson and using a firearm to commit an indictable offence.
Jurors were informed about activities involving four phone numbers between March 31, 2011 — the day Mr Robinson was fatally shot in Devonshire — and April 1 of that year.
Ms Bell analysed the phone activity and said the numbers were attributed to Mr Hewey, Jay Dill, who has already been convicted of Mr Robinson’s murder, and someone named Christopher Parris.
The data showed text messages, as well as the amount and length of calls, made from all four numbers during the relevant dates.
One call during the period was made to the landline number at 7 Palmetto Road, where police seized a bulletproof vest, jewellery and other items from a bedroom after the killing.
When cross-examined by Mr Hewey, representing himself, Ms Bell said she could not know what was discussed during the calls or if Mr Hewey, Dill or Mr Parris used the phones on the relevant dates.
The trial, before Puisne Judge Alan Richards, continues.
