The Belevedere, Corentyne labourer who was charged with murdering his 53-year-old neighbour at her home in 2016, yesterday pleaded guilty to the offence at the Berbice High Court.
Jainarine ‘Payo’ Balgobin who was a GuySuCo labourer attached to the Albion Sugar Factory and who resided at lot 370 Belevedere Squatting Area, Corentyne was charged with murdering Bhumattie Delall, 53, of Lot 351 Belevedere.
Balgobin appeared before the court with Legal Aid Attorney-at-law, Sasha Roberts. A probation report was ordered by Justice JoAnn Barlow and he is to return on July 31 for sentencing.
Balgobin on November 2, 2016 reportedly went to a “Madrass Temple” situated next door to his house and removed a machete from the altar. He reportedly went over to Deolall’s yard and called her out. Then he chopped her neck almost severing her head from her body.
She then slumped in a corner and breathed her last. He allegedly walked back over to the “Temple” and rested the bloodied machete back on the altar where he found it.
Balgobin was reported to have walked back over to his home as if he had committed no crime, but was subsequently held by his brother-in-law until the authorities arrived and arrested him.
While in custody, he had reportedly told investigators that “master send meh fuh kill she”, referring to a spiritual being associated with Hinduism.
