Murder accused incompetence delays PI

Feb 28, 2015 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

Magistrate Fabayo Azore ordered that Ali Mohamed return to court on June 15 for the commencement of a Preliminary Inquiry (PI).
Mohamed, 38, is charged with the murder of his 83-year-old father. It is alleged that on January 13, last, at Providence, he murdered Mohamed Suleiman.
He reportedly used a piece of wood and dealt his bedridden father several lashes causing his death.
At yesterday’s court hearing the Magistrate told the court that Dr. Bhiro Harry, Psychiatrist at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), ruled that the defendant is not competent to stand trial at present and that it would take three months for the man to recover from his sickness.
Mohamed is currently an inmate at the Camp Street jail. He is receiving medication for his illness. He first made an appearance before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on January 19, last, and was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
Mohamed’s sister claimed that on the day in question she called the accused to take his medication; it was then that the man armed himself with a piece of wood and dealt her several lashes causing her to run out of the house.
He then went into the bedroom of his bedridden father, who had suffered a stroke and beat him to death with a piece of wood.
The elderly man was rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre and subsequently referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he later succumbed.
