(Kaieteur News) Two more people have been remanded to prison for the murder of a man whose body was found stuffed head-down in a barrel at the Le Repentir Cemetery six months ago.

Edgar Lawson, called ‘Baby’, a 33-year-old businessman of Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara, and Keiran Barrett, called ‘Bucko’, a 50-year-old vendor of East La Penitence, Georgetown, appeared separately before Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, where the charge was read to them.

They were not required to plead to the charge, which states that between 23rd December and 25th December 25, 2025, at Charlotte Street, Georgetown, they murdered 39-year-old Levi Williams, called ‘Vamperous’.

Both men were remanded to prison, and the matter was adjourned to 29th July, 2026.

Williams’ body was discovered stuffed head-down in a barrel at the Le Repentir Cemetery around 23:40hrs on 25th December, 2025.

Lawson and Barrett are the fourth and fifth persons charged in connection with the killing. Police had previously arrested and charged three men: Randy Mars, called ‘Ratty’, a 42-year-old unemployed resident of Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke/Linden Highway; Aaron Khan, called ‘Tattoo Man’, a 29-year-old unemployed resident of Charlotte Street; and Jamal David, called ‘Hundred’, a 44-year-old unemployed resident of West Ruimveldt.
