High Court trial for trio accused of engineer’s murder
Three men were yesterday committed to stand trial in the High Court for the murder of electrical engineer, Abdool Saleem Aziz.
Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry determined that a prima facie 
case had been made against the trio.
The men – Glenroy Griffith, 21, Jarrell Ward, 26 and Julian Mack – allegedly robbed and gunned down the 23-year-old engineer as he was about to enter his Lot 33 Delhi Street, Prashad Nagar home on October 19, last.
The matter was prosecuted by Police Corporal, Bharrat Mangru, who called several witnesses to testify during the Preliminary Inquiry; including the deceased man’s uncle and police officers.
According to reports, Aziz, a former employee of Beharry Group of Companies, was shot and robbed by gunmen as he was about to enter his premises.
The University of Guyana graduate was shot four times. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) but succumbed shortly after.
A police release had said that Aziz was confronted by three men, who apparently attempted to rob him, as he was about to enter his premises. It also said that two unlicenced .32 pistols with a total of 21 rounds were recovered from the crime scene.
