Mr Justice Chetwynd declared their convictions in a half-an-hour verbal judgement late yesterday afternoon. He made the ruling after going through the final submissions of the prosecution and defence counsels.
The judge stated that the defendants in the case, Marcelino Pipite, Tony Nari, Jean-Yve Chapod, Jonas James, John Amos, Arnold Prasad, Paul Telukluk, Silas Yatan, Antony Wright, Thomas Laken, Pascal Iauko and lawyer, Wilson Iauma, were in agreement with each other to defeat the course of justice.
