Jun 04, 2015 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

Magistrate Leron Daly remanded a Kanveille truck driver to prison yesterday, on a charge of murder. Appearing at the Providence Magistrate’s Court, Ryan VanLange, 31, of 96 First Field, Kaneville, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was not required to plead to the charge which alleged that on May 31, at Kaneville, he murdered Darson Ramatar.
Police Prosecutor, Michael Grant, told the court that on the day in question, the accused and the victim were at a birthday party. He said that around 03:00hrs, the victim and the accused had an argument over the purchasing of more rum, which resulted in an argument.
As a result, a fight broke out between the two parties. The accused went to the kitchen area and allegedly armed himself with a knife. Van Lange reportedly dealt the victim three stab wounds: one to the neck, throat and mouth.
Ramatar was rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The accused was arrested, investigations were carried out, and the charge instituted.
Van Lange’s Attorney, Dexter Todd, asked the court for an early date for reports. He said that a motion has been filed in the High Court.
He added that from all indications, the police are ready to proceed with the matter, even though the file was not sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
This matter was adjourned until June 8.
Ramatar, also known as Jason Edwards, a miner of Lot 723 Third Field, Kaneville, EBD, was stabbed about his body allegedly by Van Lange, who claimed that the man attempted to burglarize his home.
