THE owner of Mark Interior Communication Inc. and an alleged hit-man, who were both arrested by police for conspiring to execute a Lethem businessman, were, on Monday, December 9, 2019, committed to stand trial at the High Court by the Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.

Mark Grimmond, the owner of the communication service, along with Mark’s Pool Side and Fun Park located at Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, was charged alongside Chatterpaul Singh called Kevin.

The men were not required to plead to the charge which stated that, between April 1, 2018, and June 7, 2019, at Georgetown, they conspired with persons known and unknown to murder Dwayne Grant.

Magistrate McLennan stated that, after going through the evidence, she found sufficient evidence against them. Both men are out on $500,000 bail each with the condition that they stayed no less than 50 feet of Grant.

According to reports, Grant is a businessman who lives in Lethem and had received a ‘tip-off’ that Grimmond had hired someone to execute him.

The businessman became fearful for his life and reported the matter to the police, who went to a Hotel in Lethem and found Singh with an illegal firearm in his possession.
The police is contending that Singh, while in custody, told the investigator that he was hired by Grimmond to kill Grant. Grimmond was arrested and the police found telephone records between the men.
