AFTER almost four months on the run, the third suspect fingered in the execution of former murder accused, Orin David, called ‘Malik’ was remanded to prison on Wednesday after recently being nabbed by the police.Howard Rambarose also known as ‘Spleen’, 24, of Meadow Bank, Georgetown appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, charged with the capital offence of murder.

He was not required to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that on August 1, 2016 at Laing Avenue, Georgetown he murdered David. He was not represented and was remanded until January 4, 2017; the matter was transferred to the Night Court.

Negus Lamaizon of 51 D’Urban Street and Samuel McIntyre are also jointly charged for the same offence. The Preliminary Inquiry for the duo is being held before Magistrate Dylon Bess.

Rambarose was nabbed on Christmas Eve by police in Agricola, East Bank Demerara after returning from Suriname. In May, Rambarose was freed on a drug trafficking charge by City Magistrate Judy Latchman and in 2015 he was cleared from two multi-million dollar armed robbery charges by City Magistrate Fabayo Azore.

David was gunned down in front of his Lot 89 Laing Avenue, Georgetown home around 15:00 hrs, in the presence of his reputed wife and other relatives. The 33-year-old was pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital, shortly after one of five men came out of a car and pumped several bullets into him. Police recovered a number of 9mm bullet casings at the scene.
According to reports, David had several confrontations with an Agricola, East Bank Demerara (EBD) resident whom he had bailed out of jail some time last year. David and the individual were involved in a heated argument again, since the Agricola resident had refused to return the $150,000 David had paid to have him released.

After the argument, the Agricola resident went away, but later returned with four other men in two vehicles and executed the former murder accused.
