A PRIMA facie case was on Thursday made out against a 22-year-old Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara resident, who is accused of killing his girlfriend, Sasia Adams.

The ruling was made by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court during the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the matter.

Rick Sewcharran was charged with manslaughter and is currently out on $500,000 bail for the crime.
Particulars of the charge alleged that, on June 10, 2018, at Lamaha Street, Georgetown, Sewcharran killed Adams, his 19-year-old girlfriend.

Sewcharran had opted to call a witness on his behalf. Such action caused the matter to be adjourned until February 18, 2019. The matter is being prosecuted by Inspector, Neville Jeffers, while Sewcharran is represented by Attorney-at-law Sanjeev J. Datadin.

On June 10, 2018, Adams was rushed to a private city hospital by her boyfriend, Sewcharran, who claimed that she had jumped out of the car as he was driving.

Adams, who arrived at the hospital in a conscious state, reportedly told health workers there that she fell at home.

The police found the developments to be strange, as both had given conflicting reports and the 22-year-old boyfriend was taken into custody.
