The lack of an interpreter is said to impeding the murder trial involving two Chinese men at Criminal Court B.
Wang Meng and Ma Li were indicted in March 2010 for allegedly murdering Wesley Craig, a South African.
The men are alleged to have committed the act in September 2009 at the victim’s Randall Street residence.
When their trial commenced last week, the court discovered the men can not speak and understand English.
The Court wrote the Chinese Embassy to assist it with an interpreter but the Embassy said it could not find any qualified Chinese interpreter.
It instead wrote Judge Blamo Dixon to ask UNMIL for an interpreter.
According to our judicial correspondent, the court has postponed the trial to August 23 pending the outcome of a request to UNMIL.
