Oct 20, 2012 News

Twenty-eight-year-old goldminer, Eon La Cruz, of Mahdia, Region Eight, appeared in the Bartica Magistrate’s Court yesterday to have the indictable charge of murder read to him by presiding Magistrate Mr. Haywant Ramdhani.
On Tuesday October16, last, he allegedly murdered 32-year-old goldminer Gregory Thomas at Karrau Village, Essequibo River.
Defence Counsel Melvin Duke, for the defendant, beseeched the Court for an early Preliminary Inquiry He argued that the matter is just an allegation and involves very peculiar circumstances. The defence position is that there was a rush to judgment and the accused was arrested prematurely.
He argued that there were others who were part and parcel with the investigations and those persons were released on bail.
He also stated that there are no eyewitnesses, no recovered weapon, and that the investigations are still ongoing into the matter.
Police Prosecutor, Inspector Dineshwar Nauth, then submitted to the Court, that the file on the matter is still with the Director of Public Prosecutions and that the Post Mortem result is still yet to be submitted to the Court.
The matter has been adjourned to November 30. (EDWARD A PERSAUD)
