Kaieteur News – Fabian Smith called ‘Saw Man’ was on Monday remanded to prison for the killing of a shopkeeper at Surinamo at “Mer Meria” Backdam, Middle Mazaruni River, Region Seven when he appeared at the Bartica Magistrates’ Court.
Smith was charged with manslaughter. He was not required to plead to the indictable charge when he appeared before Magistrate Crystal Lambert. He was remanded until August 25, 2023.
Smith is accused of stabbing Andrew Harris of Surinamo Backdam, Region Seven, to death between July 31 and August 1.
Investigators learnt that Harris worked as a shopkeeper at Surinamo Landing, Mazaruni River but had spent the last ten days of his life working together with Smith on a newly constructed shop in “Mer Meria” backdam.
The owner of the shop told police that Smith called her on August 1 and informed her that he had found Harris dead at the shop.
Police were alerted and when they arrived at the scene Harris’ body was in a slouching position on a bench. There was blood on his jersey and on the floor close to where his body was found.
“Detectives examined the body and observed a stab wound, about 3 inches in width, to the victim’s upper left chest,” police stated.
Smith was subsequently arrested.
