The case of the three men charged in connection with the Berbice triple-
murder was transferred by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan to the Mibicuri Magistrate’s Court, Berbice, for September 20, after the matter came up before her yesterday, for assignment.
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 in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, last month.
According to reports, the bullet-riddled 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, in the Cookrite Backdam at Mibicuri, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne.
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.
Reports indicate that one of the accused used a shotgun to kill the three family members. A relative of the deceased had told this publication that the men went into the Backdam to catch fish.
The victims were reportedly 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.
