THE mystery over the murder of music cart operator, Trevor Raghubir in 2014, who was allegedly stabbed to death by his co-worker Quincy Massiah, will surface in the High Court.Magistrate Ann McLennan Thursday committed twenty-five-year-old Massiah of Lot 9 Camp and D’urban Streets, Georgetown to stand trial in the High Court.
Massiah was charged indictable on December 2014 for the murder of Raghubir, also known as ‘Dougla boy’, which occurred on November 27 at Lot 9 Camp and D’Urban Streets, Georgetown.
The accused was unrepresented throughout the trial. The magistrate said that she took into consideration the prosecution’s case led by Sergeant Neville Jeffrey and the evidence was enough to establish that a prima facie case was made out against the accused at the conclusion of a Preliminary Inquiry (PI).
The magistrate had given Massiah the option of calling a witness on his behalf, to step into the box and give a sworn testimony or remain silent. Massiah simply replied that he wished to remain silent.
According to reports, on November 28, 2014 at about 02:30 hrs at the junction of Durban and Camp Streets, Georgetown, there was an argument between the accused and Raghubir who was stabbed to his abdomen. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
