BROTHERS Ramnarine and Nesham Jagmohan, aged respectively 28 and 23 years old, together with their uncle Jerry Jagmohan, appeared before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus charged with attempted murder committed on fellow inmate Tameshwar Khemraj, called ‘Rambo’, within the walls of the New Amsterdam Prisons. They were all refused bail.Particulars of the offence dictate that on June 15 last, within the New Amsterdam Prisons, they unlawfully and maliciously wounded Tameshwar Khemraj, known as ‘Rambo’, with intent to commit murder.

Ramnarine and Nesham Jagmohan, like Tameshwar Khemraj, aka Rambo, are remand prisoners facing a joint charge of murder stemming from the death of Davindra Deodat. Their uncle Jerry Jagmohan is remanded on a carnal knowledge charge. The men were friends and were known to each other for over ten years.
The Jagmohans and Khemraj were housed in separate calls in the New Amsterdam Prison.

On June 15 last, following a misunderstanding that had occurred two days before, the Jagmohans allegedly armed themselves with improvised ‘juckers’ and a knife, and attacked Khemraj as he exited his cell on the Number Three Landing.

Stemming from that attack, Khemraj received several stab wounds about his body, including to his hands and feet, and was hospitalised.

When the case was called before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Marcus Isaacs, the virtual complainant was not present in court. The case was, however, fixed for report on September 23.
