CHIEF Magistrate Ann McLennan on Monday, September 23, 2019, remanded a 35-year-old miner from the Waramadong Village, Region Seven, for killing his brother-in-law.
Anthony Edwards appeared before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and was unrepresented by an attorney.

He was not required to plead to the charge which alleged that, on September 15, 2019, at Waramadong Village, he murdered Doreian Brown.

Prosecutor Inspector Gordon Mansfield informed the court that the police file was still incomplete and the post mortem report was outstanding.
Edwards was remanded to prison until December 16, 2019, when he is scheduled to appear at the Kamarang Magistrate’s Court.

The Guyana Chronicle was made to understand that Edwards is the brother-in-law of Brown.

However, on the day in question, Brown was hosting a charity event at Waramadong Back Dam and was in the company of his brother-in-law.

The men left and went into the village and began consuming alcohol together. It is alleged that the men had a misunderstanding, which caused Edwards to brandish a knife and dealt Brown a chop to his right arm.
Brown was rushed to the hospital but died while receiving treatment.
