Teen remanded for murder of Laing Ave. man
A 19-year-old man was yesterday remanded to prison for the murder of Orin David, who was gunned down on Emancipation Day in front of his Laing Avenue, Georgetown home.
Murdered: Orin David
Regus Lamazon of 51 D’Urban Street was not required to plead to the indictable charge read to him by Magistrate Judy Latchman in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts. He was represented by Attorney Paul Fung-a-Fat.
Two weeks ago, Samuel McIntyre was remanded to prison after he was charged with the said offence.
Lamazon and McIntyre were instructed to return to court on September 8, when they will appear before the Chief Magistrate.
David, called Malik, was shot and killed 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 sometime 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 having spent 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 wedding.
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.
