Fingerprint expert detective sergeant Devon Harris made the disclosure Wednesday when he testified at the trial of 26-year-old Sheldon Pusey.

Pusey has been on trial in the Home Circuit Court since last week Monday.

Harris said the comparison was made from photographic enlargements of the finger impression on the Guinness bottle and Pusey's inked rolled fingerprints. He said the fingerprints of no two persons were ever proven to be the same."I fully accept your finding and I have no doubt in my mind it is correct," defence lawyer Berrie Bryan told Harris before he began to cross-examine him. Questioned as to whether he was equipped to analyse the contents in the Guinness bottle assuming that there was contaminated Guinness in it, Harris replied, "I do not deal with toxicology, sir". Harris said once a surface was smooth it could be processed for fingerprints.

Stabbed

Detective sergeant Halstead Harris testified that on May 13 last year he saw Pusey at the holding area of the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court. He said he requested a set of Pusey's fingerprints and Pusey consented. He said after the fingerprints were taken he handed over the form with the fingerprint impression to Detective sergeant Devon Harris.King was stabbed several times at his home at 11A Waterloo Road, New Kingston, between March 19 and 20, 2006.

Senior puisne judge Marva McIntosh is presiding at the trial.
