Brothers charged with Corentyne businessman’s murder
Two brothers, Ramnarine Jagmohan, of 28 Belvedere Squatting Area, Corentyne who told the court that he is a farmer, and Neshan Jagmohan, 23, a cane harvester and a father of four of Hampshire Squatting Area, were on Monday remanded to jail by Magistrate Shurdel Isaacs-Marcus when they appeared before her at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court.
They appeared charged with killing Devindra Deodat, 34, called ‘Dave’, a businessman of Hampshire Squatting Area, Corentyne which occurred on October 7, 2013. They were not required to plead to the indictable charge.
Killed: Devindra Deodat
According to Prosecutor Sergeant Philip Sheriff the men murdered Deodat on October 7 at Hampshire Squatting Area, Corentyne.
Deodat, the owner of Cool Runnings Trucking Service, was chopped and shot dead around 18:30 hrs after a group of masked men stormed the grocery shop which he and his wife, Mala, 29, operated.
The bandits also chopped Deodat’s wife in the head and shot her father, Rafeek Abdul, 47, in the left arm.
During the murder/robbery two of the three attackers were allegedly unmasked, allowing the victims to identify them at a subsequent identification parade.
Both men are known to the authorities and according to investigators one of the men was released from jail the same day that Deodat was slain. He was reportedly incarcerated for unlawful possession of a firearm.
During the robbery the assailants managed to escape with $560,000, a gold band, a laptop computer and a cell phone.
A post mortem performed on Deodat’s body at the New Amsterdam Hospital gave the cause of death as shock and haemorrhage due to gunshot wounds.
Police detective Corporal Thomas swore to the evidence. Detectives are also seeking a third suspect.
The matter has been transferred to the Albion Magistrate Court for continuation on November 5, next.
Accused: Ramnarine Jagmohan and Neshan Jagmohan
