A prosecution witness told the High Court that accused Saliem Harrigan said a contract to kill Nigel Christian was given by Raymond Yhap.

The witness testified that Harrigan allegedly said the arrangement was facilitated through an inmate at His Majesty’s Prison.

The court also heard the witness claim that police were aware of an alleged plan to kill Christian before he was shot on July 10, 2020. When questioned, however, the witness said he did not know whether Christian had been placed in protective custody.

Wayne Thomas, Saliem Harrigan and Lasean Bully are jointly charged with murder. The trial continues before Justice Rajiv Persad.
