TWO men were Wednesday charged with the murder of Gafsons’ manager Terry Lackhan, who was found dead in his wardrobe on July 21 last. David Outar and Patrick Ross have been jointly charged for the murder, made their appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and were remanded to prison on Wednesday by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
It is alleged that the two killed Lackhan in his Herstelling, East Bank Demerara home.
Outar, of Lot 369 Foulis, East Coast Demerara and Patrick Ross, of Lot 107 First Street, Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, were not required to plead to the capital charge, which alleged that they murdered 55-year-old Lackhan on July 21 during the course of a robbery.
According to the prosecution’s facts, Lackhan was a manager at Gafsons Industries Limited and he was found dead in his wardrobe with a rope tied around his neck shortly after a male was seen exiting the home with several bags.
Several bottles of tablets and photographs of his family members lay nearby, as the killers tried to make the man’s death appear as a suicide.
The two accused are expected to reappear on October, 25, 2016.
