Magistrate threatens to discharge murder PI over absent police witnesses
The persistent absence of police witnesses has prompted Magistrate Alex Moore to threaten to discharge two accused in the November 2010 murder of Chateau Margot supermarket owner, Dennis Ramah.
DENNIS RAMAH
The Magistrate issued the threat yesterday after the two detectives who were integrally involved in the case failed to show up at the magistrate’s court yesterday when the matter was called, much to the frustration of the victim’s relatives.
The Magistrate is conducting a Preliminary Inquiry into the murder of the 64-year old businessman which occurred when bandits stormed his L&D Supermarket on November 16, 2010.
During the robbery, Ramah was fatally shot but not before he had chopped one of the bandits.
It’s been almost two years and still the police witnesses have not testified.
A frustrated relative of the businessman recalled one occasion when the Detectives were present to give their evidence and this was not done. He said that since then, every time the matter is called, the policemen are absent.
“These men were caught red handed and they might walk free because of the police,” the dead businessman’s relative stated.
The two accused are Victor Bobb, 26, of “B” Field, Pattensen, East Coast Demerara, and Quincy Arthur, who was allegedly chopped by the businessman before he died.
A source at the Sparendaam Police Station told this newspaper that the two Detectives were in the vicinity of the court when the matter was called yesterday.
However, there appeared to be some miscommunication.
The source assured that the ranks will be available for the next court hearing.
