Amputee remanded for Patentia man’s murder

Oct 31, 2012 News

Magistrate Clive Nurse yesterday remanded Abdool Salim Rasheed to prison after he was charged with murder.
The accused who has one leg hopped his way into the Vreed-en-hoop Magistrate’s Court where the charge was read to him.
It is alleged that on Saturday October 27, Rasheed killed Yusuf Shaddick, called ‘Smith’ and ‘Disco’ of East Patentia Squatting Area, West Bank Demerara. The accused, who was unrepresented, was not required to enter a plea to the indictable charge.
Rasheed was remanded and the case will be called again on November 8 at the Wales Magistrate’s Court.
Yusuf Shaddick was discovered dead by neighbours after Rasheed, who shared a derelict house with him, told them that bandits had attacked the two men on Friday night and he believed that ‘Disco’ was dead.
Shaddick’s body bore multiple stab wounds and there was also a gaping wound to his head.
Police had said that their investigations revealed that Yusuf Shaddick and another man were imbibing, when an argument ensued, during which Shaddick was stabbed to his chest. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
Shaddick was previously charged for the murder of his brother some 13 years ago.
