With a broken left leg and police assistance, the second suspect in the murder of 34-year-old Kelvin Walters who was shot and killed during an alleged execution at Eccles, East Bank Demerara was on Friday arraigned before the Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.

Twenty-eight year-old security officer, Rodrick Thomas called ‘Roger’ made his appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates Court and was not required to plea to the indictable charge which alleged that, on January 22,2019 At Eccles Public Road, East Bank Demerara, he murdered 38-year-old Kelvin Walters.

Thomas of Williams Street, Kitty was jointly charged with Devon Allen, 25 of Albouystown for the capital offence.
Police Prosecutor, Inspector Neville Jeffers, told the court that both men suffered from a broken leg during the alleged commission of the crime.However, Thomas was discharged from the hospital on Thursday while Allen is still receiving treatment and will be charged upon his release.

Thomas was represented by attorneys-at-law James Bond and Siand Dhurjon.
Bond told the court that his client sustained his injuries during a mining mishap and begged the court for his client to receive treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation or at the infirmary at the Lusignan Prison.

The Chief Magistrate remanded Allen to prison and adjourned the matter until February 15,2019.

The Guyana Chronicle was informed that the victim and his family, inclusive of his reputed wife Roxanne Henry and a five-year-old, were in the vehicle.
As Walters was traveling along the East Bank Demerara heading south, two men on a motorcycle rode up alongside him. There was some form of exchange and the men then rode up in front of the car and blocked its path.

Walters, according to information, drove his vehicle into the motorcycle but the two men took evasive measures. The car rolled over the motorcycle but the pillion rider got up and opened fire on Walters. He was shot to the mouth according eyewitnesses.
As a result, he lost control of the vehicle which slammed into the median. Henry also suffered injuries. Police sources have said that the men then got up and fled on foot into a nearby village, leaving behind a 9MM pistol and 14 matching live rounds of ammunition.
They did not take anything from their victims. The two alleged attackers were later arrested at a private hospital while receiving medical attention.

According to reports, Walters might have been key to an ongoing matter pertaining to a grenade attack on the Kaieteur News some two years back. In that incident, the grenade failed to explode.
Media reports indicated that Williams is said to be a relative one of the men who is before the courts for the attack
