After evading police for over five years, Steve Allicock, who was captured a few days ago in connection with the murder of Albouystown resident, Wendell Tappin appeared in court yesterday.
Allicock, 33, of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, was not required to plead to murder after the charge was read to him by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
Particulars of the charge stated that on December 31, 2009 at Albouystown, he murdered Tappin.
The defendant who was unrepresented by an Attorney was ordered to return to court on June 17. Twelve witnesses are slated to testify in the preliminary inquiry before Magistrate Ann McLennan.
Wendell Tappin, of 88 James Street, Albouystown, was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital on December 31, 2009, where he was pronounced dead.
The man was allegedly killed during an altercation over a cell phone battery.
Back in 2010, two other men, Leonard Allicock and his brother Randolph Allicock, were charged with Tappin’s murder.
Randolph Allicock never appeared before a judge. After a lengthy High Court trial conducted by Justice Diana Insanally before a 12-member mixed jury, Leonard Allicock, was acquitted of murder.
The Police had issued a wanted bulletin for Steve Allicock in 2010 as they believed he was the prime suspect.
