Jurors in the Christine Hewitt murder case will likely continue hearing evidence in the matter on Wednesday, October 2.
The break in the evidence is due to a continued voir dire, a trial within a trial, outside the presence of the panel of 12 jurors. Details of the voir dire cannot be published as due to the fact that it is taking place in the absence of the jurors.
When the jurors resume hearing the case, Scene of Crime investigator Detective Sergeant Kevin Maine is to continue giving evidence.
The detective testified on Friday that a finger print was found on a shard of glass at the location where the charred remains of television personality Christine Hewitt were found on the Mount Industry main road in rural St Catherine, in her burnt out car on June 29, 2006.
The court is yet to hear if there is a match in the fingerprint.
David Gordon, Hewitt's husband, and his brother Wordsworth are being tried for murder in the St Catherine Circuit Court over the death.
Jurors started hearing evidence in the trial last week Tuesday. They have so heard the reading of a statement given by Gordon to the police.
In that statement, Gordon told the police that men in a car had come to the house he shared with Hewitt in March 2006 asking for her. He said the men came back on another occasion, knocking him down and holding a gun to his head before searching the house. One of the men threatened to kill him, according to the statement, but another said no because they didn't get what they came for.
The couple moved to Kingston after the incident and a friend of Hewitt's, Ramcharan, who had been sponsoring their stay at a Kingston hotel was attacked and tied up.
Gordon said in the statement that he left for his home in Linstead, St Catherine, and ended the relationship with Hewitt. He said he last spoke with and saw Hewitt on June 29 and that he accompanied her to Linstead plaza before he took a taxi home.
On another day, one of Hewitt's sister testified that the television personality was not satisfied with her marriage. She was unable to say why due to an objection from the defence.
But the sister also testified that Hewitt had problems with and entertainer over money and had conflicts with politicians after she switched her allegiance from the Jamaica Labour Party to the People's National Party.
