THE Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), on Monday, withdrew a murder charge against 50-year-old Milami Alli, who spent the last 20 months on remand for allegedly murdering her reputed husband in 2009. Alli was before Senior Magistrate, Fabayo Azore, at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court where a preliminary inquiry (PI) was being conducted.
The indictment alleged that between July 11, 2009 and July 12, 2009, at Coldingen, East Coast Demerara, Alli murdered her husband, Ramzan Alli, who was a well-known fuel dealer and businessman. She was represented by attorney-at law, Bernard DaSilva.

When the case was called on Monday, the court was informed that, based on the advice from the DPP, the murder charge was withdrawn against Alli. Magistrate Azore, acting on the instructions from the DPP, dismissed the murder charge against the accused. However, Alli’s alleged ex-lover, Zaheed Mitchell, 39, is still on remand for the fuel dealer’s murder and will have to face a PI. According to reports, Alli, a well-known fuel dealer, was found in the trunk of a rented Toyota Carina motor car on the railway embankment at Coldingen, East Coast Demerara.
The body was found by relatives who had mounted a search for him, after several calls to his cell phone went unanswered; his skull was said to have been bashed in.

According to the prosecution’s case, Mitchell and others murdered Alli between July 11 and 12, 2009. Mitchell was remanded to prison until April 15, 2019. It was during the investigation that Milami Alli’s name surfaced and an arrest warrant was therefore issued for her. According to reports, Alli had paid Mitchell, with whom she reportedly had an affair, $7M to murder her husband. Alli was arrested upon arrival at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport on the evening of Thursday, April 4, 2019, after leaving the U.S. aboard a Caribbean Airlines flight.
