Duo jointly charged with murder

TWO men were on Wednesday jointly charged with the murder of 34-year-old Rawle Rodriguez, who was killed during a robbery at the Route 32 Minibus Park in January.

Afabia Yankana and Akeem Hayman appeared before City Magistrate Judy Latchman and were not required to plead to the capital offence.

It is alleged that the duo on January 20, 2017 at Croal Street, Stabroek, murdered Rodriguez during the course of a robbery. The matter is adjourned until August 22 and is transferred to the Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.

According to reports, on January 20 about 21:30hrs, Rodriguez was stabbed to his chest by two men during a robbery at the Route 32 Minibus Park along Croal Street, Stabroek. The men had allegedly trailed Rodriguez from the Demico Roof Garden where he was earlier seen consuming alcohol. Yankana is also facing an armed robbery charge before City Magistrate, Leron Daly.
