A father and son were among three men remanded to prison, after being charged in connection with the Berbice triple-murder in which the bullet-riddled bodies of Pawan Chandradeo, Naresh Rooplall and Jaikarran Chandradeo were found in the Cookrite Backdam at Mibicuri, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne.
The accused, Carlton Chetram, 38; his son Jairam Chetram, 18; along with Tameshwar Jagmohan, 26, all farmers of Mahaicony, were remanded to prison for the indictable offence of murder when they appeared before City Magistrate Judy Latchman.
The unrepresented men will make their next court appearance on September 6, before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, when the matter is called for assignment.
The trio was escorted into the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts yesterday afternoon by ranks of the Major Crime Investigation Unit. They were all clad in white shirts and bowed their heads upon seeing droves of reporters.
According to reports, the bodies of Pawan Chandradeo, 37; his son Jaikarran Chandradeo, 15, both of Mibicuri Creek North and Naresh Rooplall, 33, of Number 70 Village, Corentyne, Berbice, were found on July 22. It was reported that the slain teen still had a bag with fish slug around his shoulder. The corpses reportedly bore gaping shotgun wounds to the head and upper bodies.
According to reports, the victims were found by a rice farmer of Black Bush Polder and his workmen. It was reported that 13-year-old Alvin Chandradeo, who accompanied his father Pawan and brother Jaikarran was left at a pump station on a dam, as the others went further into the Savannah to fish. The lad stayed at the pump station from where he reportedly heard gunshots.
