The charge against Jaipaul Hitlall, alleged that on October 2, 2016 at Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara, he murdered Kaneece, during the course of a rape.
An unrepresented Hitlall was not required to plead to the indictable charge when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
This matter was transferred to the Leonora Magistrate’s Court for January 10.
Police in a release said that the accused who is unemployed was apprehended on December 30, last, and confessed to the crime.
According to reports, the 60-year-old woman believed to be mentally ill was found dead in her home in a hammock with multiple stab wounds to the chest.
