Corwyn Arthur called ‘Cross Eye’ appeared at the Linden Magistrate’s Court Monday morning charged with the murder of Claude DeJonge on May, 10, 2018.
The 32 year-old unemployed man of 1088 Cinderella City Amelia’s Ward, Linden appeared before Magistrate Clive Nurse.

The accused was not required to plead and he was remanded to prison until June 21.
He reportedly stabbed his ex-lover’s reputed husband to death at Amelia’s Ward, Linden and escaped but was later arrested Thursday last in a house at Bennett Dam, Rosignol Village, West Bank Berbice.

Claude ‘Sonno’ DeJonge, a taxi driver of Lot 915 South Amelia’s Ward, Mackenzie, Linden was allegedly murdered by Arthur at midnight on May 10 after the taxi driver asked him to leave his premises subsequent to an argument and the intervention of police.
It is alleged that the suspect subsequently left the home but texted the taxi driver telling him that he would make his life “a living hell” for calling the police.

Later, as DeJonge was sleeping with his reputed wife, the suspect reportedly gained entry through an open bedroom window and while armed with a knife, dealt DeJonge three stab wounds about his body.

The wife Tanya Samuels witnessed the horrific ordeal and alerted neighbours with her screams.
