Uncle, two nephews charged

Little Abary murder…

Three men were yesterday remanded to prison by Magistrate Omeanna Hamilton when they appeared before her at the Mahaicony Magistrate’s Court to answer a charge for the capital offence of murder.
The men, Satnarine Jaikarran and his two nephews Randy and Neville Crawford, are accused of killing 33-year-old Maxwell Watson at Little Abary last Friday night.
Watson was stabbed to death during an attack at his home, following a prolonged family feud.
Watson’s reputed wife, 20-year-old Valerie Niles received a stab in the back while trying to protect Watson.
The three men were arrested immediately after the incident.
Yesterday they were represented by counsel but were not required to plead to the indictable charge.
Police recovered three cutlasses from an outhouse, including the suspected murder weapon that was used in the brutal murder.
Investigators had returned to the blood spattered scene of the crime on Saturday after receiving information that Watson’s attackers had hidden their weapons in the outhouse.
Initially police were looking for a shotgun, which they believe was also used to confront Watson before he was finally cornered and killed.
However, apart from the butt of the weapon which was recovered shortly after the killing, the police were unable to locate the main component.
The incident which sent shockwaves throughout the village was not totally unexpected since the family, who occupy three houses in one yard, was always engaged in heated arguments with threats of murdering one another being the order of the day.
The police were called upon on several occasions to intervene.
The three murder accused will return to court on March 3rd.
Meanwhile in Berbice, Muneshwar Persaud, 28, of Belvedere Squatting Area, Corentyne, and 17-year-old Simon Pulingum of 52 Second Street, No.1 Road, Corentyne, had manslaughter charges read to them.
The men appeared before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo yesterday at the Albion Magistrate’s court, in connection with the death of Dhanpaul, 62 of No.1 Road, Corentyne.
Dhanpaul was shot and killed during an incident last Friday on a chicken farm.
Persaud and Pulingum were remanded to prison until February 09, 2010.
