The offence is alleged to have been committed July 2, 2008, at Angoy’s Avenue.
Ramjohn’s two brothers, Joseph ‘Joe Boy’ Ramjohn and Khemraj Ramjohn called ‘Babo’ of the same address, have also been charged and warrants have been issued for their arrest.
The state’s case as presented by Prosecutor Corporal Roberto Figueira is that on the day in question, Samaroo and the three accused had an altercation when Samaroo was fatally stabbed.
