Juvenile to stand trial for murder

Oct 08, 2009 News

A juvenile was yesterday committed to stand trial in the Berbice High Court for the murder of a 14-year-old girl at Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice, a little over a year ago.
The battered body of Kavita Panday with her skirt and underwear pulled down to her knees had been discovered in a trench not far away from her home at Block D Bath Settlement on September 10 last year.
She had been a second former at the Number 11 Village Primary School and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rajesh Panday, cash crop farmers in the village.
She had been seen alive an hour before the discovery of her battered corpse, being transported on a bicycle on the canal embankment towards a clump of bushes on the seaward side of the village.The juvenile, a male neighbour who was also 14 at the time, was subsequently arrested and charged for the murder. Yesterday at the Blairmont Court, at the end of a preliminary inquiry in which ten witnesses had laid depositions, Magistrate Tejnarine Ramroop ruled that a prima facie case had been made out against the accused. He will stand trial at the next sitting of the Berbice Assizes.
He is currently being kept in a place of custody other than the New Amsterdam prisons because of his age.
