– with murder of guard at Uncle Eddie’s
POLICE have charged two men with the murder, last week, of security guard Simone Coleridge, who was killed during a robbery at Uncle Eddie’s Home for senior citizens, in Jackson Street, Tucville, Georgetown.

The accused, Leroy Lynch alias ‘Simbo’, 30, of East La Penitence Squatting Area and Kevin Bamfield, 33, of Lot 3552 North Ruimveldt, also in the city, appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson yesterday and were remanded to prison until June 22.

The charge said the capital offence was committed on May 27.

But when asked, by the magistrate, if they had anything to say, Lynch said he was at a ‘bingi’ (spree) all night and returned home in the morning when he saw Police in the area where he was arrested.

Bamfield claimed he works in the interior and recently returned home, adding he was playing football when the Police held him.

The victim had been employed by Roshan Khan’s Security Service when her bound and gagged, lifeless body was discovered in the main building of the complex where she was on duty. (Nathalene DeFreitas)
