17-year-old remanded for alleged murder

Mar 28, 2013 News

 
A 17-year-old appeared last Tuesday before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court charged with the murder of Kumar Mohabir, a 25-year-old, who was a young entrepreneur and once resided at Lot 7 Fernandes Street, Enterprise, East Coast Demerara.
He is also charged with the attempted murder of Navindra Mohabir.
The teen was represented by Pamela Dos Santos, who stated that her client “strongly denies the allegations made against him based on the fact that an I.D parade which was conducted on March 25 was totally flawed.”
According to police reports, on February 23, the Mohabir brothers were at the Mashramani celebrations around 19:30 hours at Vlissingen Road. Making their way to a beverage stand, one of the brothers apparently jammed Devon Thomas, 21, who is also being tried for the two indictable matters.
An argument ensued which resulted in Kumar being stabbed to death. Navindra who tried to defend his brother was also dealt several stabs about his body.
During the investigation, a police source had indicated that four men were initially apprehended, but two were released. The other two, inclusive of Thomas, who lives at Lot 95 Better Hope South, ECD, were then taken to Eve Leary where they underwent an identification parade. Thomas was identified by Navindra Mohabir, as one of the assailants.
The 17-year-old who was subsequently remanded is expected to return on May 16, where he will appear before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry.
