After going through the entirety of the evidence Senior Magistrate Leron Daly found sufficient evidence to commit Shelton Bowen to stand trial in the High Court for the murder of Mark Ifill.
Bowen, 42, a security guard of Lot 2 Water Street, Bagotstown, allegedly stabbed Mark to death during a heated row over an illegal connection from which they were collecting water.

Bowen was charged for the offense in 2017, he is expected to go on trial at the next practical sitting at the Demerara.
