CHIEF Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday remanded three men who appeared before her accused of the murder of remigrant Soesdyke farmer Anthony Breedy.

Paul Moriah, 28-year-old vendor of Grove Squatting Area, EBD; and Donnel Trapp, 21, and Kemo Corbin, both of Timehri, East Bank Demerara were not required to plead to the capital offence.

The three men are charged jointly with having, between March 12-14, 2016 at Hill Foot, Soesdyke/Linden Highway, murdered the 60-year-old pensioner. The men were all unrepresented.

Police Prosecutor Inspector Neville Jeffers did not reveal the facts to the court, but explained that the post-mortem performed on Breedy was incomplete and a few statements were still in the process of being completed.
Magistrate McLennan adjourned the matter until April 18.

The battered body of Breedy was found in his home two Mondays ago. His head was bashed in and his hands and feet were bound. His SUV was also missing. Police, acting on intelligence, went to Nabaclis and arrested Moriah, who was in possession of the dead man’s ATM card and his missing SUV.

After his arrest, Moriah confessed to the murder and implicated Trapp and Corbin. They were subsequently arrested in Ithaca, West Bank Berbice, in a house which police and members of the SWAT Team had swooped down on.
After their arrest, they are reported to have taken investigators to a location where they had hidden a gun and matching ammunition. During their subsequent interrogation, they also admitted that they had conspired to commit the heinous crime.

Breedy was the lone occupant of his house at the time of the incident. The gruesome discovery of his murder was made by a friend who had gone to the Hill Foot residence to check-up on him. Breedy was last seen by residents on the Saturday night of March 12.
Breedy had previously worked as an Agriculture Officer in Montserrat. He reportedly returned to Guyana last year, and had since spent most of his time farming in the vicinity of the Soesdyke Highway.
