Dead: Ramdat Singh

THE juvenile who went berserk on August 14 was, on Monday, remanded to Juvenile Holding Centre after he made his first appearance before Magistrate Annette Singh via Skype at the Charity Magistrate’s Court.

He was not required to plead to the murder charge committed on two victims and was therefore remanded to prison until September 21, 2020.

Meanwhile, the two women and her two children who were brutally stabbed about her body, remain at Suddie Public hospital in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The family member’s conditions remain the same.

On August 14, the teenager went berserk at his home in Pomeroon River, Region Two, killing his brother-in-law, 55-year-old Ramdat Singh, also called “Shami”, of Bat Creek, Upper Pomeroon River, and his nephew, three-year-old, Kissoon Williams.

Reports are after that the teen stabbed Singh, he attacked three children ages one, three and six, and his two sisters. He stabbed one of the women, and the three children about the bodies, while the other woman’s throat was slashed, after which he fled the area.

The injured persons were placed in a boat and rushed to the Charity Hospital. Singh was pronounced dead on arrival.

The other injured persons were all transferred to the Suddie Hospital, where two of them were rushed to the theatre for emergency surgery while the other three were admitted to the ICU in stable condition. Three-year-old Williams succumbed to his injuries later in the evening.
