MARK Lowchee who was on remand for a murder that happened 14 years ago, was on Monday committed by Magistrate Leron Daly, to stand trial at the High Court.

Lowchee, called Marc Lee, was on remand for the September 21, 2003 murder of Collis DeAbreu at Fifth and Light Streets, Alberttown, Georgetown. Lowchee is partly handicapped due to a stroke to his left side and he uses a cane for assistance.

The preliminary inquiry (PI) was presided over by Magistrate Leron Daly, who concluded on Monday that there is enough evidence for Lowchee to face a judge and jury.

According to reports, on the day in question there was a misunderstanding between the accused and the owner of the night club, over a glass belonging to the Blue Iguana.
It is further alleged that the accused pulled out a gun and discharged several rounds in the vicinity of the nightclub, hitting De Abreu to the chest and injuring other patrons.
De Abreu was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital and was pronounced dead upon arrival.
