MAGISTRATE Zamilla Ali-Seepaul, on Monday, remanded a farmer to prison for the murder of his co-worker, whose lifeless body was found in a canal at Morasi Backdam, East Bank Essequibo last week.

Randy Williams appeared before the Leonora Magistrate’s Court and was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
It is alleged that, between October 10 and October 13, 2020, he murdered 21-year-old Timol Harris of Waramuri, Moruca, Region 1.
The case was adjourned to January 22, 2021.

According to reports, Williams and Harris worked together on an East Bank Essequibo farm. On October 9 they were involved in an argument during which Williams threatened to kill Harris.
On October 10, Harris left for work and days later his body was discovered floating in a canal a few miles from where he worked, with a chop wound on the neck.
Following the discovery, Williams was arrested by the police and allegedly confessed to the crime under caution.
