Jul 01, 2018 News

Charged son: Asif Hamid

The son of the missing Crabwood Creek vendor whose sharred remains were found behind a temple in D’Edward Village, West Coast Berbice, appeared before Magistrate Alex Moore at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court on Friday..
Asif Hamid, 23, who is currently incarcerated for the murder of a Number 36 Village businessman was charged on Friday with accessory before the fact.
It is alleged that days prior to April 19, 2018 at the New Amsterdam Prison, Hamid conspired with Satrohan Madray and Antonio Balrup to murder his father, Saeed ‘Sayo’ Hamid.
Hamid who was unrepresented was not required to plead to the charge and will return to court on August 18, 2018.
On Thursday, his accomplices Satrohan ‘Bluey’ Madray and Antonio Singh Balrup

Murdered: Saeed Hamid

were jointly charged with the capital offence of murder committed on Saeed Hamid, a wholesale vendor of Crabwood Creek, Upper Corentyne, Berbice.
They were both remanded to prison and are being represented by Attorney-at-law Murseline Bacchus. The three men were scheduled to be charged jointly on Wednesday at the Blairmont Magistrate Court before Magistrate Rhondell Weaver.
Magistrate Weaver explained to the court that the three men could not be charged jointly since Asif’s charge read that he committed the offence of conspiracy in the New Amsterdam Magisterial District, a jurisdiction she does not preside over. She had told the ranks to make the necessary changes and corrections, hence Madray and Balrup returning to court on Thursday to be charged before her at the Fort Wellington Magistrate Court.
The vendor left his home on the 19th April, 2018 and two months later police had a break and arrested Madray and Balrup. While in custody they reportedly confessed to bludgeoning ‘Sayo’ to the head and then burning his corpse behind the home and temple of Madray at D’Edward village.
