The X-6 murder trial of St. Andrew businessman Patrick Powell has been postponed until October.

The trial, which was scheduled to begin today was postponed because the prosecutor involved in the matter had another case to attend to.

Powell was told that he’ll be tried on October 13 when he appeared in the Home Circuit Court in downtown Kingston this morning.

The businessman is charged with murder in connection with the July, 2011 killing of Kingston College teenager, Khajeel Mais.

Mais, was killed when a taxi in which he was travelling was shot at on Border Avenue in Havendale, St. Andrew.
