A 15-year-old boy of Number 69 village, Upper Corentyne was on Monday remanded for the murder
of a taxi driver of Number 72 village.
The lad appeared at the Whim Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Charlyn Artiga where the charge was read to him. He was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
His Attorney Chandra Sohan was absent.
The matter was transferred to the Springlands Magistrate’s Court on July 20th.
Deonarine ‘Baba’ Laljit, a 37-year-old taxi driver was allegedly murdered in his car by the teenager on the Line Path, Corriverton Public Road.
The boy reportedly stabbed Laljit to the neck and escaped. The taxi driver bled to death while trying to seek assistance at a house located a stone’s throw away from where the stabbing occured.
The lad hid in an abandoned house a street away. He was subsequently accosted by authorities and taken into custody.
Kaieteur News had reported that the teenager claimed that the now dead taxi driver constantly taunted him about his sister’s divorce and personal matters.
This he told investigators angered him, leading him to take matters into his own hands.
Laljit was a father of two and the sole breadwinner of his home.
