The preliminary inquiry for John Blanchard was yesterday put off until April 29 when reports on the matter will be submitted. The triple murder accused was told his new date by Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty after he made yet another appearance at the Providence Magistrate’s Court.
Blanchard was told by Magistrate Mc Gusty that only a date was given since the previous Magistrate, Mr. Leslie Sobers, was no longer there.
Blanchard is accused of killing his three children, Joy, Belika and Daniel.
On October 11, 2011, Blanchard was detained for the chopping of his three young children which initially resulted in the death of two of the minors. Belika Blanchard and her five-year-old brother Daniel Blanchard died instantly after reportedly being attacked by their father. Six-year-old Joy Blanchard subsequently succumbed to her injuries.
The family resided at Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara.
Meanwhile this publication was informed that the previous Magistrate, Mr. Leslie Sobers, is no longer sitting on the bench at the Providence Magistrate’s Court as his time is up as a temporary Magistrate. This publication was told that Magistrate Sobers was appointed a temporary Magistrate in 2010. There has been no definitive word yet from the Judicial Service Commission on what will be next for Magistrate Sobers who was once into private practice as an attorney-at-law.
