Three charged for killing GGMC engineer and Sterling Product’s guard
After months of investigation, police have charged three men in connection 
with the murders of Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) engineer Trevor Abrams and Sterling Products Limited, security guard, Wilfred Stewart.
Steven Prescott, also known as ‘Assassin’, along with Orin Arthur and Rayon Paddy, were arraigned before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine Beharry yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The first charge was read to Arthur and Paddy. Particulars of the charge stated that on December 24, 2014, at Providence, East Bank Demerara, they murdered Wilfred Stewart, during the course of or after a robbery.
Prescott, along with the two other accused, was further charged with the murder of Abrams, which occurred on February 21, at Little Diamond, East Bank Demerara.
Prescott was represented by Attorney Peter Hugh, while Attorney Sonia Parag represented the other two defendants.
According to Police Prosecutor Corporal Bharrat Mangru, investigations are still ongoing into the two matters. The trio will make their next court appearance on April 28.
Abrams, 32, of Lot 131 Samatta Point, East Bank Demerara, was riddled with bullets on February 26, 2015, at Little Diamond, East Bank Demerara, after heavily armed men ambushed him and opened fire on his vehicle.
Meanwhile, Sterling Products Limited Security guard, Wilfred Stewart of Graham’s Hall East Coast Demerara, was shot dead in December, 2014, by gunmen who forced their way into the Sterling Products Limited Compound.
Paddy and Arthur are currently before the courts on several charges ranging from possession of an illegal firearm, possession of narcotics, abduction and robbery under arms. The men allegedly posed as cops and carried out robberies at Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara, on March 18, 2015.
