A 16-year-old Venezuelan was on Thursday remanded to prison for the fatal stabbing of an 18-year-old miner over a girl. The teen made his appearance before Magistrate Allan Wilson in the Lethem Magistrate’s Court.
He was not required to plead to the indictable charge which stated that on July 19, 2020, at Marudi Mountain, he murdered Shadrack Martin, of Aishalton Village, South Rupununi, Region Nine.
According to police report, on the day in question, Martin and the teen were at a birthday party imbibing, when a heated argument ensued over a young woman. The teen then reportedly pulled out a knife and dealt the miner a stab to his right upper chest, causing him to collapse.
The miner was picked up in an unconscious state and rushed to the Aishalton Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The matter was reported and ranks from the Guyana Police Force (GPF) visited the scene where they discovered the knife that was used in the alleged stabbing of the miner.
An investigation was launched and the teen was later arrested and charged for the offence. The teen was remanded to prison and is expected to make his next court appearance on August 27, 2020.
