Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry remanded a licensed firearm holder to prison, after he was charged with the capitol offence of murder.
Andre Gomes was not required to plead to the charge after it was read to him at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.

According to Police Corporal, Bharrat Mangru, a spent shell was recovered from the crime scene the day after the incident. He explained that the spent shell recovered matches the gun of the accused.
