MAGISTRATE Sherdel Marcus Issacs has committed New Amsterdam businessman Charles Henry, called  Charles Bristol  or Wheels , to stand trial for murder at the next session of the Berbice Assizes.

The committal followed a ruling which indicated that a prima facie case had been made out against the defendant who is accused of fatally shooting Errol Lindo, a resident of Caracas, West Canje.
Police Sergeant Godfrey Playter, prosecuting, had led eleven witnesses who testified at the Preliminary Inquiry that commenced on August 26.
The defence team, led by Attorneys-at-Law Nigel Hughes and included Mortimer Coddett and Horatio Edmondson declined to call witnesses for the defence.
However, lead attorney Hughes made a successful application for  certified copies of the court’s file.
Meanwhile, as the committal was being read, Henry was motionless as he gazed ahead in the direction of the bench where the Police Prosecutor and other officers were sitting.
Henry,  a remigrant of  Lot 17 Lad Lane, New Amsterdam, is alleged to have fatally  shot Errol Lindo,  called ‘Son Son’,  during a house demolition  on April 16, 2014, which incidentally was the Christian Holy Week.
The incident allegedly stemmed from an ongoing feud between the businessman and some residents in the area over the illegal occupation of land.
On the day in question Bristol, along with his employees,  were in the process of dismantling a house belonging  to Lindo, when there was a disagreement resulting in the squatter  being shot.
The injured man was taken to the  New Amsterdam Hospital where he succumbed while receiving medical intervention.
Meanwhile, two eyewitness including the sister of the now deceased, Dolly Rahaman,  has since  died following the  commencement of the Inquiry .
