The trial of a man accused of murder was delayed after the defendant was involved in a road traffic incident, a Supreme Court jury heard yesterday.

Devon Hewey, who is on trial for the March 2011 murder of Randy Robinson, was involved in the road incident over the weekend.

Puisne Judge Alan Richards asked jurors to return to the courtroom on Monday morning, unless told otherwise.

The condition of Mr Hewey — who is on bail — was not disclosed but Kareem Nelson, for the Crown, said he saw the defendant earlier on Monday at the court.

Mr Justice Richards pointed out that Mr Hewey is representing himself in the case and, as such, the matter was adjourned.

The court earlier heard that Mr Robinson, a 22-year-old father, was shot while walking along Border Lane North on the evening of March 31, 2011.

A witness described seeing two people drive up on a black Honda Scoopy and the pillion passenger shooting at the victim with a gun held in his left hand.

Jay Dill was previously convicted of the killing, with prosecutors asserting that he was the gunman while Mr Hewey drove the motorcycle.

Both Mr Hewey and Dill were arrested at Mr Hewey’s home in the early hours of April 1, 2011 after police executed a search warrant at the property.

Acting Superintendent Alexander Rollin told the court that in 2011 there had been a series of tit-for-tat attacks between Parkside and the 42 gang, rival groups both based in Pembroke.

He said that Mr Hewey and Dill were both 42 members and, while Mr Robinson was not involved with gang activity, two of his cousins were involved with Parkside.

The trial continues.
