Accompanied by a police officer, 17-year-old Angelique Williams was yesterday escorted into the Vreed-en-Hoop Magistrate’s Court, to face charges of murdering her best friend.
She appeared before Magistrate Christel Lambert, and was remanded to prison.
The teen is accused of stabbing 21-year-old Renita Thomas to death with a broken bottle on May 21, at Versailles, West Bank Demerara.
Williams’s Attorney, Peter Hugh, was unable to enter an appearance for the young woman since he arrived late for the court hearing.
Several family members and friends of the accused and deceased were present. The murdered girl’s mother, Amanda Prince, sobbed loudly and had to be escorted to the holding area, and was thus prevented from sitting throughout the remand hearing.
The matter was adjourned until June 1.
According to reports, the suspect, Angelique Williams, known as ‘Angie’, and the victim, Renita Thomas, who both resided at Sunflower Close, South Ruimveldt, had visited the Aracari Resort last Thursday in the company of other friends.
Shortly after they had left, an argument reportedly broke out between the two, and Williams allegedly stabbed Thomas with a broken bottle.
The victim succumbed before she could be taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
