THREE men were on Wednesday at the Georgetown Magistrates Court remanded by Magistrate Faith McGusty for the brutal murder of Sham Bharrat Chunnilall Mannilall, a newspaper vendor of Queenstown, Essequibo Coast.

Charged with the murder are Carlton Carter, his brother Carl and Delhoya McKenzie.
The men were not required to plead to the capital offence which read that on January 10, 2020, at Queenstown, Essequibo Coast, they murdered Mannilall during the course or furtherance of a robbery.

The matter was transferred to the Anna Regina Magistrate’s Court for January 29, 2020. The trio will remain on remand.

According to a police report, on the day in question around 20:00hrs, Mannilall and his family were about to enter their Queenstown, Essequibo Coast home when they were confronted by two masked men, both wearing helmets and armed with a handgun and a cutlass.

Subsequently, the firearm was discharged hitting Mannilall to his chest, shoulder and the right side of his abdomen, after which both men fled the scene.

Mannilall was rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The police subsequently launched an investigation, as a result of which the trio were arrested and charged.
