The man responsible for cold bloodedly knifing to death his four-year-old stepson has been remanded to prison.
The defendant, Rawle Samuels, 25, of Wisroc Linden appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court yesterday.
He arrived in court in shackles on both his hands and feet. Samuels wore blank facial expression at the reading of the charge.
On February 6, last, at Buck Hill, Wisroc, Linden, Samuels knifed Jamal Narajan to death. He was not required to plead to the murder charge.
At this stage the prosecution was not ready to present facts thus Samuels requested to go to the washroom. He was allowed to leave the court under escort of police ranks. After returning to the courtroom to await the continuation of yesterday’s court proceedings, Samuels appeared to be uneasy. He constantly rubbed the palms of his hands as he sat in the dock.
He later kept his head bowed throughout the reading of short facts provided by Police Prosecutor Burgette Grant.
Grant told the court that the child was the foster son of the accused. She related to the court that on Wednesday February 6, around 13:00 hrs, Jamal Narajan was returning home from school, when he witnessed his 17 year old aunt racing out of the house and screaming rape. The dead boy’s mother Neesha Narajan was not at home at the time of the incident.
The accused who was in hot pursuit of the teenager turned his attention on his stepson and brutally stabbed him several times in the region of his chest.
The boy was picked up and rushed to the Linden Hospital Complex. He was pronounced dead on arrival of the institution. A post mortem examination was subsequently conducted.
Police reported that the boy’s aunt managed to escape but the suspect reportedly held the four-year-old hostage at knife point and threatened to kill him if the female relative did not return. She refused and the suspect stabbed Narajan several times about the body and escaped.
Police also said that the murder weapon was still lodged in the child’s body when it was taken to the Linden Hospital Complex.
