Brazilian held for allegedly murdering wife brought to court
A Brazilian man appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court yesterday to answer the indictable charge of murder.
Raimundo Santos Freitas Barbosa appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry charged with murder. The 51-year-old man is accused of killing his wife, Barbara Delgato.
The prosecution told the court that the couple were both Brazilian nationals. They shared a husband and wife relationship. The court heard that on October 5, Barbosa went to the mining camp at Piari Puruni Backdam where his now deceased wife was.
For reasons so far unknown , the accused picked up a piece of wood and gave the deceased several lashes about the body causing injuries to the woman and thereafter, her death.
The man then made good his escape, explained the prosecutor. Barbosa was subsequently apprehended in Georgetown where the allegations were put to him. He was further charged for the death of Delgato.
It was revealed that he had allegedly come to Guyana via Suriname.
The court transferred the matter to the Bartica Magistrate’s Court where the man will appear on October 20.
