Man remanded over Laing Avenue execution
Murder Accused: Samuel McIntyre (with handcuffs) being escorted to court by a detective
Samuel McIntyre was yesterday remanded to prison for the murder of former murder accused, Orin David, who was gunned down on Emancipation Day in Laing Avenue, Georgetown.
McIntyre appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and was not required to plead to the indictable offence.
He was unrepresented by an Attorney and instructed to return to court on September 8, before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
David, called Malik, was shot in front of his Lot 89 Laing Avenue home in the presence of his reputed wife and other relatives. The 33-year-old man was killed after one of five men came out of a car and riddled him with bullets.
According to reports, the former murder accused had confrontations several times with a man from Agricola, East Bank Demerara, whom he had bailed out of jail some time last year. It was reported that on the day in question, David and the suspect were involved in a heated argument over the monies.
It is alleged that the Agricola resident went away and later returned with four persons in two vehicles and executed David.
Last year February, David was freed after spending five years in prison for the 2010 murder of Mahaica farmer, Lakhram Bishundial. Bishundial, called Mohan, was shot and killed during a robbery at Hope Turn, East Coast Demerara as he was on his way to a nearby Ashram to make preparations for his younger brother’s weeding.
On July 12, 2015, David, who had allegedly tossed a firearm in a trench during a police patrol exercise on July 9, was charged with unlawful possession of a gun.
