The incident occurred on February 5, 2025, at D’Urban Backlands, Georgetown. Reports indicate that Solomon was fatally stabbed during a botched home invasion. The teenager was later arrested and taken to the East La Penitence Police Station, and subsequently charged with murder.
The accused appeared before Magistrate, Annette Singh, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, where the indictable charge was read to him. He was not required to enter a plea and was remanded to prison.
His next court appearance is scheduled for March 6, 2025.
During the hearing, the court was informed that the teenager is a school dropout.
According to reports, the attack took place around 04:00 hrs. The city councillor reportedly came out of his home and saw the 16-year-old suspect trying to gain entry into his shop. He raised an alarm and the boy ran.
