JUSTICE Navindra Singh is expected to commence the High Court trial into the murder of Chateau Margot businessman, Dennis Ramah, who was shot and killed during an armed robbery in 2010.

On remand for the indictment is 35-year-old Victor Bobb, formally of “B” Field, Pattensen, East Coast Demerara.

Come March 11, 2019, a 12-member jury will be empanelled and a date will be set for commencement of the trial.

The charge against Bobb alleged that, on November 16, 2010, at Chateau Margot, East Coast Demerara, in the East Magisterial District, Bobb murdered 64-year-old Ramah.
According to reports, on November 16, 2010, about 09:30 hours, a group of men entered the business premises of the L & D Supermarket at Second Street, Chateau Margot, which was owned by Ramah.

The men reportedly ordered the employees of the supermarket to lie on the ground.
It is alleged that Bobb and another were armed. One of them had a gun while the other had a knife.

Ramah raised an alarm and armed himself with a cutlass.
He managed to wound one of the perpetrators but was shot twice to his chest.  The bandits subsequently ran out of the house.

The wounded businessman was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) but later succumbed.
