CLEON Romeo, 39, of Lima, Essequibo Coast, appeared before Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Charity Magistrate Court yesterday (October 29, 2012), charged with robbery under arms and murder committed on businessman Herman Ramnarine, 56, of Lima, Essequibo, on October 24, 2012.

He was remanded to prison until November 28, 2012.
Ramnarine was murdered in his home at about 20:15hrs on Wednesday. Investigations revealed that his wife, Haimwantie Ramnarine, was at home when she was confronted by two men, one of whom was armed with a cutlass. They tied her up, and took away an undisclosed sum of cash and a quantity of jewellery before escaping.
The woman later managed to free herself, and went in search of her husband, whom she found lying motionless on the lower flat, with injuries to his head. His hands had been tied behind his back, and a piece of cloth had been wrapped around his neck. He was taken to the Suddie Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
