Police witnesses testifying in the trial had claimed that fingerprints found inside a safe at the scene of the murder tied Roberts to the crime.On Wednesday Assistant Superintendent of Police, Raffeik Ali, told the court that based on the analysis he conducted, the fingerprint impressions taken at the crime scene matched the prints police obtained from Roberts.But Ali was faced with a series of questions by Defence Counsel, Nigel Hughes, regarding the precision and accuracy of his analysis. The policeman insisted that the prints belonged to Roberts. He said that the prints had undergone computer analysis as well as manual examination.He held that the computer identifies possibilities of a fingerprint match but the manual examination, can confirm it. In his closing address, Hughes pointed to the fact that there were no signs of forced entry to the building in which the elderly businessman was murdered. The attorney noted too, that the only persons with access to the premises were the elderly man, his son and grandson – the latter two were never considered suspects to the crime nor were they questioned by the police regarding their whereabouts on the night of the murder.He underlined too that both the victim’s son, Leonard Rachpaul and grandson Vincent had testified that a Transport (Deed of Title) was among the items stolen from the Robb Street premises.But in her arguments, State Prosecutor Narissa Leander said that the fingerprints found at the scene could not have belonged to anyone other than the accused.

She had urged the jury to use their commonsense and good judgment, when reviewing evidence of the case.
