The High Court today set November 11 as the date for the murder trial of Mikhail Gomes.
The Pigotts resident was charged with murder a month following the disappearance of Vincia James in April 2017.
James of New Winthropes was last seen on Old Parham Road around 1:00 when she left her workplace, Dixie Betting Company.
In the days and weeks following her disappearance, relatives, police and defence force personnel participated in several organized searches to no avail.
To this day, the woman has not been found.
During committal proceedings in May 2018, defense attorneys attempted to block the case from going to trial.
They argued there were no eyewitnesses, no medical evidence to substantiate the cause of death as murder and questioned whether murder can be verified in the absence of a body.
However, the magistrate agreed with prosecutors who contended there was substantial circumstantial evidence to send the case to a judge and jury to decide.

What happen to the female remains they found sometime back. When they said they have to send it away for testing
Set his sorry Ass on Fire,these men are just too cruel..They cant give life,who gives them the right to take it.
This is one of the cases I have been writing about.How this lady just disappeared after leaving her place of work.This is going to be a very tough case to prove in my opinion.
Apparently he was the one who picked her up from her workplace the last time she was seen
I can’t understand he’s charge for murder and nobody is found, what if now this young lady return what would happen? I am not saying he’s guilty or not but how can he be charge for murder. You father pass not knowing if you are guilty or not guilty the case stress that man out so much till he die I hope they allow you to go to the funeral.
So his father was stressed out? Imgaine the family of the young lady.
How are we sure the man is guilty? Where is the evidence to prove that? In court it’s not about emotions, it’s about what can be proved.
Thank you!
Exactly my point how they think her family feel not knowing where she is or her remains. Just like his father stressed well her family stressed as damn well.
You must be one of his women HALL UR ASS! NO ONE GIVES A TWO SHIT ABOUT HIM NOR HIS DEAD PUPA. Do u know how this has affected Vincia’s family especially her mother. He knows who pickney he mess with cause some people would mek he stop in jail and hold he belly n bawl. EVIL SON OF A BITCH
You want him to attend funeral VINCIA’S MUMA WOULD LOVE CLOSURE SHE WOULD NOT LOVE BUT PREFER TO BURY HER BABY GIRL. SIT AND THINK ABOUT THAT
SMH….So if he is the last person seen with her……………..Where is she? Did u drop her off somewhere?? Can u take us to where u last took her??? So many questions that an innocent man jus can’t seem to answer……….
My grandson missing 10 months now not a sight of him and nothing no one search for him only us a slander was said we take it to head quarter police station a statement again and questions nothing as yet
Well it’s a really sad situation no doubt but i guess being innocent till found guilty went out the window the minute he was arrested as in most cases in our society….me nah say he innocent or guilty, me just a say from de beginning e nuh look good all now ah till de same
The thing is yes I agree innocent until proven otherwise and yes the only evidence linking him to Vincia is the fact that he was the last person seen with her….Now I know i’m not the smartest person in the world but if I know for sure I am innocent I can most deff defend myself and take the police to where ever I last took the young lady etc. It it clearly evident that the accused believes that no body, no evidence, I keep quiet NOT GUILTY…….ONE QUESTION…Where did u take her????………….Silence……….That don’t seem like an innocen person to me….
How can this make sense.
Ask yourself; did he pick her up or they’re saying that?
There’s no evidence of him picking her up.
If police had evidence of him picking her up they wouldn’t be replying on circumstantial evidence.
So just like everyone else that keeps judging you need to get the facts together.
Oh yea since you know so much ask yourself this; how can she just vanish after leaving work. So many cameras in the area.
replying
*relying
No evidence of him picking her up? On two different accounts:
It was said that “it was revealed that the vehicle that he picked her up in was confiscated and it was revealed that he was the last person to be seen with her before her mysterious disappearance.” Also (He ) was (seen) by (Dixie cameras picking her up from work).
From Observer ..(Vincia James, who was 26-years-old at the time of her disappearance, was captured on surveillance camera leaving her Old Parham Road workplace, Dixie Betting Company, on April 7, 2017, around 1 p.m.)
Even in picking her up, even if innocent, that’s where the problem comes in. Maybe maybe maybe.. he dropped her home and she wandered off and got killed, unfortunately for him, he was the last person captured on camera to have seen her. The Police is going to build on that.
Bontiff said that Gomes was the last known person to see James, and he(Gomes) told police he did not know where the 26-year-old woman had gone, despite both their cellular phones were ringing from the same location for over two hours and he had no alibi for that time.
Lets see what happens, but not the best pic to put up..girl disappear and he smiling like that
