Davenand Dhandhari called Kevin of Betsy Ground, East Canje, Berbice was on Wednesday remanded to jail by Magistrate Mauricia Mittelholzer, when he appeared before her at the Reliance Magistrate’s Court on the charge of murder.
Dhandhari, a student (of New Amsterdam Multilateral Secondary) and farmer, is accused of murdering Omesh Seelall, called “Rovin” or “Short Neck”, 21, a labourer, also of Betsy Ground, on April 17, last, at Betsy Ground.

Initially four men were arrested, but the others were released.
Dhandhari is being represented by Attorney- at- Law Mursaline Bacchus. He was remanded to jail until May 12th for continuation. Sergeant Orin Joseph is presenting the State’s case.
