Murder accused, Satrohan Madray, called ‘Bluie’ 30 of Bennet Dam, D’Edward Village, West Coast
Berbice is on trial for murder in the High Court.
Madray is accused of murdering his good friend, Dinesh Harrylall, called ‘Kevin’. The trial judge is Justice James Bovell Drakes and a mixed Jury.
Harrylall, a construction worker of Lot 38 B Woodley Park, No. 11 Village, West Coast Berbice, was 20 at the time of his demise.
He was reportedly found lying in a pool of blood at his friend’s residence at D’Edward Village, West Bank Berbice. He was allegedly brutally beaten and stabbed about his body.
He had reportedly left home to go to Madray’s house. The men were said to be close friends and frequented each other’s place on a regular basis. Harrylall did not return home.
Madray was subsequently arrested and taken into custody.
On the night in question it was reported that they had a disagreement which led to the killing.
So far the Prosecution which is being led by attorney at law Orinthia Schmidt has called seven witnesses, including Jagdesh Harrylall, the father of the deceased.
Police Sergeant, Curtis Cort, Corporal Lawrence Harvey, Constable Alexander, Ex Police forensic expert Tamika Henry, and civilian Jagdesh Jagnarine have also testified so far.
The testimony of Detective Corporal Dharmindra Inderpaul and Dr. Vivikananda Brijmohan are to be presented.
Madray is being represented by attorney at law Mursalene Bacchus.
The preliminary inquiry was conducted before Magistrate Rhondell Weaver at the Fort Wellington Magistrate court where a prima facie case was made out against him.
