Guyanese man charged with murder of ‘doubles’ vendor

Feb 25, 2019 News

 

Trinidad (Newsday)- THE 20-year-old Guyanese man who police arrested at the airport last week when he tried boarding a flight, has been charged with murdering Chaguanas ‘doubles’ vendor Dhroop “Pie” Jagessar.
Police from the Homicide Bureau Region III, however, released the 52-year-old Guyanese woman who was held with the suspect. She is a close relative of Jagessar who was chopped to death last Monday at Susheela Drive, Chase Village in Chaguanas.
At about 2 am on Tuesday, security personnel at the Piarco Airport arrested them while trying to get on a plane to Guyana. Police learnt that hours earlier, between 8 pm and 10 pm, Jagessar was chopped and killed.
A few days ago, legal officer PC Kyrn Lewis from the bureau, submitted a file to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. On Friday evening, Deputy DPP Joan Honore-Paul advised police to charge the man and release the woman.
The suspect is expected to appear in the Chaguanas Magistrates’ Court today.
