The United States Government says that it has admissible evidence that Guyanese drug accused, Shaheed Roger Khan had ordered the executions of Davendra Persaud and Donald Allison before he was arrested on drug charges and wants this allowed at the upcoming trial to underline his then continuing criminal enterprise. Khans lawyers have opposed a motion the government had filed for the court to rule on the admission of evidence on uncharged acts by Khan while he was here. Khan has also denied the claims that he killed the two men. However, the US government said that what it was seeking to have admitted was direct evidence of the continuing criminal enterprise and other charges in this case back in May, the US government filed a motion in the Eastern District Court of New York seeking to obtain a pre-trial ruling to admit evidence regarding uncharged criminal activity by Khan. The judge has not yet ruled on the motion.
