PRINCIPAL Magistrate Judy Latchman on Wednesday committed Rajen Dindial to stand trial at the Georgetown High Court for the murder of 36-year-old Aliston Henry who was beaten to death at a ‘wedding house’ in Grove last September.
The magistrate concluded the preliminary inquiry on Wednesday with the testimony of the last two witnesses and committed Dindial, based on the statement he had given to the police, confessing to the murder. The matter was prosecuted by Police Corporal Shawn Gonsalves.
According to reports, on the day in question, while at the wedding house celebration, Henry had a misunderstanding with Dindial and pushed down a portable toilet which was nearby.
The accused became annoyed and dealt Henry several lashes about his body with a food paddle. The injured man was placed in a push cart and taken home by public-spirited persons. He was then taken to the hospital where he succumbed days later.
