The trial against alleged \u2018Vampire Killer\u2019 Delano Forbes continued yesterday in the St. John\u2019s Magistrates\u2019 Court where the 26-year-old got the opportunity to tell the court what happened on October 7th within the Her Majesty \u2019s Prison.<\/p>\n

The Sweetes man is accused of wounding a prison officer by the name of Dwight Peters on that day with a disinfectant can.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

On January 25, the complainant, another prison officer and a police investigator gave evidence in the matter.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Peters said that it was Forbes\u2019 bad behaviour that prompted him to try to shackle the murder accused.<\/p>\n

But the prisoner refused and another officer by the name of Alpheus Jackson tried to assist.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He said that Forbes then slipped on some water and pulled Jackson down with him and started to wrestle on the ground.<\/p>\n

Peters said that when he bent down to restrain him, the prisoner struck him in his head resulting in an injury that required 6 stitches and a week off from work.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Jackson also gave similar evidence and an investigator, Javid Alfred corroborated their story.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Forbes however, had a different story to share yesterday in court. He said that he asked Peters to let him see the Superintendent of Prison but was denied.<\/p>\n

As a result, he refused to be restrained.<\/p>\n

Forbes continued saying that Jackson entered and also tried to shackle him but he slipped and fell to the ground.<\/p>\n

He said when Peters tried to shackle him on the floor, he hit his dead on a table.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Since Forbes choose to give evidence from his defense box, prosecutors were not allowed to question him.<\/p>\n

The trial therefore came to an end and February 16 was set as the date for the Magistrate to return her decision in the matter.<\/p>\n
