SIXTY-FOUR-YEAR-OLD, Charles Goodluck, formerly of Betsy Ground, East Canje, was committed to stand trial at the next sitting of the Berbice Assizes, after Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh ruled that a prima facie case had been made out for the offence of murder.

The ruling was made during a special sitting at the Albion Magistrates’ Court, where the murder accused stood motionless at the ruling.
Police Prosecutor, Sergeant Phillip Sheriff, had led several witnesses who supported the prosecution’s case, which revealed that on August 20, 2013, Goodluck, at Kwakwani, Berbice River, murdered his colleague Chandradatt Hussain, called Deo, as they worked at Coredyke Backdam.
A caution statement, in which the accused confessed to committing the crime, was also admitted into evidence.
