Oakland Apartment murder trial delayed

The trial of businessman Stephen Causewell, who is charged with the 2008 murder of his ex-girlfriend at the Oaklands Apartment, has been pushed back to September 23.

The case was postponed until that date when it was called up in the Home Circuit Court this morning.

Causewell is accused of killing 27-year-old Nardia Mitchell at her apartment on July 16, 2008.

Mitchell’s body was found on the grounds of the apartment complex.

It was initially reported that she died after falling from the building.

However, a post mortem revealed that her injuries were not consistent with a fall.

The police said the post mortem indicated that Mitchell died from injuries caused by a blunt object that was used to hit her on the head.
