TESTIMONY in the Marco Archer murder trial has been suspended for a week due to a death in the family of a juror.

Justice Bernard Turner made the announcement yesterday. He told the jurors present that not only did their foreman experience a difficulty the night before which resulted in her absence, but another juror lost a relative.

Justice Turner told the jurors their presence was not required in court until June 18.

Kofhe Goodman, 37, of Yorkshire Drive, faces a murder charge, which he denies. It is claimed that between September 23 and 28 of 2011, he caused the death of Marco Archer, 11, who disappeared from Brougham Street and was found dead days later.

The case began on April 19.
