FOLLOWING the guilty plea of 18-year-old Naomi Adams, four other youths were called before Justice Navindra Singh on Tuesday at the Demerara High Court, in relation to the same charge as Adams.

The indictable charge reads that on May 12, 2016, the five-member teen group murdered Pairadeau Mars called ‘Perry’, in the furtherance of robbery.

According to the police report, Nikisha Dover, Timothy Paul Chance, Orin Mc Crae and Andre Benjammin, along with Adams, invaded the PrashadNagar home of the retired Professor, robbed him, and strangled him to death.

The youths were jointly charged; however, Adams took a guilty plea and is awaiting sentencing, while the other four youngsters are awaiting trial.

Chance is being represented by attorney Nigel Hughes, while Adrian Thompson is representing Mc Crae and Benjamin. The trial was delayed to give Dover time to secure counsel.
On June 17 the attorneys will meet with the presiding judge to set a date for commencement of trial.
