Berbice River residents Dave Banwari and Elmo Benedict have been committed to stand trial at the next sitting of the  Berbice Assizes for the unlawful killing of Rakesh Rajaram.
Magistrate Omeyena Hamilton, presiding in the New Amsterdam Court, ruled that a prima facie case was made out against them.
The men, from Sand Hills, are accused of unlawfully killing Rajaram on March 1, 2008  last. They are remanded to prison.
The man was employed at a coal mine when he met his demise.
Police said following his move to Sand Hills, he stayed with a family and became involved in a relationship with his host’s teenage daughter, which displeased her parent as she was in relationship with another.
As a result, Rajaram was asked to leave and he did so, but constructed a shack two hundred metres away.
According to information received, the deceased, allegedly armed with an improvised shot gun, abducted the girl from her home taking her to a clump of bushes in the area.
In the meantime, a close relative of the woman and her intended partner were alerted of what had transpired, and they armed themselves with cutlasses, went to the scene and, without asking any questions, fatally chopped Rajaram.
