In todays Trinidad Guardian Husband back on stand today: Rennie Coolman, the widower of former Xtra Foods chief executive Vindra Naipaul-Coolman, will take the witness stand at the Port-of-Spain High Court for second time when her murder trial resumes this morning. Coolman, a campus manager at the University of T&T (UTT), is the sixth witness to be called by State prosecutors since the high-profile trial began late last month. He started giving evidence last Thursday, but defence attorneys could not complete their cross-examination of him before the end of the hearing, forcing him to return to court today. Coolman’s testimony is expected to be followed by those of two police officers from the Anti-Kidnapping Squad (AKS) who were part of the investigation team assigned to Naipaul-Coolman’s case. In total, State prosecutors are expected to call 73 witnesses during the course of the trial, with 65 of them being police officers. While testifying before Justice Malcolm Holdip and a 12-member jury with six alternates last Thursday, Coolman said he was having dinner at his family’s Radix Road, Lange Park, Chaguanas home, on the night his wife was kidnapped.
