East Berbice man to face trial over 2010 stabbing of neighbour

Aug 17, 2012 News

 

Zazir Khan, 46, of Lot 50 Lord Street, Number Two Village, East Canje Berbice has been committed to stand trial in the Berbice High Court for a 2010 stabbing incident.
Khan, who was reportedly convicted and jailed before on a charge for manslaughter, was on trial for attempt murder committed on Junior Bacchus, a neighbour, on March 2nd, 2010.
Khan was on trial before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo who conducted the Preliminary Inquiry at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court.
The prosecution’s case was that on the day in question, Khan was seen standing in front of Bacchus’ yard with a knife in his hand.
Bacchus noticed him and inquired into his reason for standing there. Khan said that one of the neighbours was becoming a nuisance to him and that he (Khan) was waiting to burn down that neighbour’s house.
Bacchus, the court was told, asked the accused man to move. Khan became angry and took a knife and stabbed Bacchus across his head, jaw and back before escaping.
Bacchus collapsed and was picked up and rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital in an unconscious condition, before being transferred to the Georgetown hospital.
The accused was later arrested and charged. However, the matter was discharged when it was first tried. He was rearrested and charged in September 2011.
Khan was unrepresented.
