Jury selection for the much-delayed murder trial of Andre Kirk Everett Hypolite is expected to start today.

Hypolite, 33, is accused of murdering Nicholas Dill on Boxing Day, 2004.

His murder trial had been due to start in November and then December, 2005, but was delayed.

In Supreme Court on Tuesday, Hypolite was represented by defence lawyer Mark Pettingill.

The Crown counsels were Paula Tyndale and Oonagh Vaucrossen.

Puisne Judge Carlisle Greaves will preside over the case.
