Alleged baby killer remanded to Prison
Two days after surrendering to the police, alleged baby killer Marc Angoy made his first court appearance yesterday at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court to face the murder charge.

Clad in a pair of jeans and burgundy long sleeve shirt, the 45-year-old Angoy appeared before Magistrate Alicia George and was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
This was after the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions was obtained just after midday yesterday.
Angoy, 45, of Buzz Bee Dam, Craig, East Bank Demerara, is accused of killing 18-month-old Arianne Gill, who was shot dead on Sunday last at her grandmother’s home at Eastville, Annandale, East Coast Demerara.
Anxious relatives of the victim, including her grandmother Shelly Norton, who happens to be Angoy’s ex-lover, waited patiently for him to be led from the lock-ups to the courtroom, snapping photographs of him with their smart phones as he was escorted by the police.
After the charge was read to him, Angoy, in answer to a question from Magistrate George, calmly acknowledged the charge.
Following the brief hearing, Angoy was remanded to prison until December 28, with the advice to seek the services of an attorney.
As he was being handcuffed to be taken from the courtroom, Angoy fixed an intimidatory gaze at his former lover, Norton, who returned the favour.
“He’s the type like that, he will try to scare me but I’m not…I just trust that by the grace of God we pick up the pieces and move on. I have confidence in the system that justice will prevail,” Norton told this newspaper.
She informed that her daughter, the dead baby’s mother, is “broken up” by the incident.

“She’s not eating, she don’t even sleep, she just sitting down and just gazing,” Norton said.
She disclosed that the slain baby will be buried on Friday next.
At around 13:45 hours on Sunday, Angoy allegedly stood outside by a window of Norton’s Annandale apartment and shot into the house at two children, who were watching television in the living room.
The bullets struck the baby and Norton’s daughter Ashley. But while Ashley survived, Arriane was pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
