Boy, 17, remanded for stabbing farmer to death in drunken row
A 17-year-old boy was yesterday remanded to prison on a murder charge after he made an appearance before Magistrate Dylon Bess in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
It is alleged that on November 23, at Barima, Kariabo Village, North West District, the teenager murdered Junior Moses, 44, a farmer.
He was not required to plead to the indictable charge during an in-camera court session. The accused will return to court on December 6, before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
According to reports, the accused and Moses were imbibing alcohol, when an argument ensued between them, during which the accused armed himself with a knife and stabbed Moses once to the abdomen and escaped.
Moses was rushed to the Mabaruma Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The teen was later apprehended and charged.
