Special Prosecutor Nigel Hughes called two prison officers to testify when the preliminary inquiry (PI) into the murder of Ganesh Ramlall, called ‘Boyo’, continued yesterday in the Leonora Magistrate’s Court.
Lennox ‘Soldier Man’ Roberts, 32, of 2279 Tuschen Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara; Fazeel ‘Javed’ Bacchus, 21, of 7 Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara and Kurt ‘Banana’ Erskine, 35, of 285 Section ‘C’, Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara are currently on remand for the indictable offence.
Ramlall of Lot C La Jalousie, West Coast Demerara was reportedly shot seven times about the body after bandits attacked his home on July 5, 2015. The 48-year-old owner of Regent Multiplex Mall had reportedly just returned home from a barbecue, when he was accosted by four men, one of whom shot him to the head and chest before relieving him of jewelry and a wallet before escaping.
At a June 21, court hearing Police Inspector Suraj Singh was grilled when he faced cross examination by Senior Counsel Bernard De Santos, who is representing Roberts. Inspector Singh was called to testify in the Voir Dire (trial within a trial) which was conducted by Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool to determine the admissibility of an alleged caution statement the police witness took from Roberts.
De Santos had objected to the alleged caution statement being admitted into evidence on the ground that his client was viciously attacked by Inspector Singh.
Police Sergeants Rodwell Sarrabo and Salaish Roopnarine and Corporal Heranjan Deonarine had previously testified.
This PI is scheduled to continue on July 18.
