A 52- YEAR- OLD father has been charged with murder, while his stepson continues to evade a police dragnet, even as the case was heard at the Albion Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

Harrynarine Mathura called “Cassareep”, aged 49 of Haswell, Port Mourant, Corentyne, appeared before Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh  charged indictably with the unlawful killing of RajeshwarRamdhani at Well Tank Dam, Miss Phobe, Port Mourant on October 5.
His stepson, Das Ramdanan, called Peter, is the main suspect and continues to be on the run, said Police Sergeant Phillip Sheriff, in open court.
Ramdhani called Suraj, of Tain Settlement, succumbed as a result of shock and haemorrhage, due to a stab wound to his chest, according to Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh.
The deceased and his sibling had left to attend a wake. However, they proceeded to another location where a wedding was being celebrated. It was at that location that a disagreement arose between the deceased, his brother and his alleged killers..
Consequently, they left the celebration and were  walking along the  Well Tank Dam, when  they were  allegedly attacked by the defendant and his 20- year- old stepson,  who had been  waiting  to ambush them at a  dark and lonely spot.
It was during this attack that a knife was plunged into Ramdhani’s chest. His sibling seeing what had transpired and fearing for his life, fled and hid  himself until the perpetrators had left the scene .
They had also attacked his brother, Daniel, who had to run for his life and hide by lying flat on a dark and lonely parapet.
The wounded man was picked up in an unconscious state and taken to the Port Mourant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The case is fixed for hearing on November 10, at the Whim Court
