Shamdial Ramroop called ‘Muscle’, 31, of Tain Settlement, Corentyne, was yesterday remanded to prison after being charged with the murder of Ajai Cecil.
Ramroop made an appearance at the Albion Magistrates Court before Magistrate Fabayo Azore. The father of two was represented by Ian Annamayah. Bail was refused and he will return to court on January 8.
On Sunday last, Cecil was stabbed to death at Rose Hall, Corentyne, while on his way home from a fun day. Reports are that Cecil was pronounced dead on arrival at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, shortly after the incident.
Relatives told this publication that Cecil left his home at around 19:30 hours on Saturday to attend a Fun Day at the Area H Ground Rose Hall. The man then decided to stay for the ‘wash down’ and was heading home at around 12:30 hours, with a relative, identified only as Rakesh, when he was attacked by three men.
The eyewitness recalled that one of the men struck Cecil on his head with a piece of wood causing him to fall to the ground. The men then relieved the injured teen of his valuables comprising three gold rings, a gold band and a gold chain.
As the men were relieving Cecil of his valuables, they stabbed him several times about his body. Rakesh said that during the attack he ran away and screamed for help. The robbers chased after him but subsequently gave up and fled the area. The injured man was first rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital but after being greeted with locked gates his relatives were forced to drive to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
