Deodat Seecharran, called “Pop Corn”, 20, of Edinburgh Housing Scheme, East Bank Berbice, who was among a gang of four that was involved in a gun battle with police on Sunday December 9, was on Monday arraigned on six charges.  Three of them were shot and seriously wounded.
Seecharran appeared before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo on Monday at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court on six charges.
He is accused of discharging a loaded firearm at police cadet officer Roger Pilgrim with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or cause him grievous bodily harm. He is also charged with discharging a loaded firearm at Police corporal Randy Hamilton with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or cause him grievous bodily harm.
Another charge read that on the same day he and others discharged a loaded firearm at Doodnauth Moses with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or cause him grievous bodily harm.
Seecharran is also charged with being in possession of a firearm without being the holder of a firearm licence. Another charge is that he was in possession of ammunition without being the holder of a firearm licence.
He is also charged with the offence of attempting to commit a felony by attacking the dwelling house of Ragesh Parsram at Betsy Ground, East Canje Berbice.
Seecharran was refused bail and will have to return to court on January 16, next at the Reliance Magistrate’s court.
Two other men, Keshwar Harrinarine, called “Bread”, 32, a hire car driver of Fyrish, Long dam; Corentyne, Berbice; and Parmanand Joseph, 24, also a hire car driver of John’s, Corentyne, Berbice, were earlier arraigned on six charges and remanded to jail.
Another man, Zaheir Abdul, 22, of New Scheme, Adelphi, East Canje Berbice, is still hospitalised in the city.
Three of the bandits were injured–Seecharran was shot to his left buttock; Abdul to his left hip; and Harrinarine to his right buttock. They were all hospitalised. Joseph who was said to be the getaway car driver, was intercepted with vehicle-HC 1390 in the area and could give no plausible excused as to why he was in the area.
The men were captured after a failed robbery on the house situated at Betsy Ground, East Canje.  They were then involved in a gun battle with police  which ended with three of them being cornered in the St Patrick’s burial ground in Plantation Rose Hall, Canje, next to the Rose Hall Estate.
The police recovered one shot gun, pellets empty casings. Boots, caps and jerseys were also recovered.
