THREE brothers were remanded to prison on Tuesday for the fatal stabbing of 20-year-old Emanuel Solomon at his Lot 317 Belle West, West Bank Demerara (WBD) home last Friday.
Kayle Roberts, 26 and Kurlsen Roberts, 23, were charged jointly, while their 17-year-old brother was charged separately, since he is a juvenile.
The trio appeared before Magistrate Zamilla Ali-Seepaul at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court and were remanded to prison until March 4.
Reports indicate that their mother handed them over to police after cops had enquired about their whereabouts, since they were identified as perpetrators of the stabbing.
The Guyana Chronicle was made to understand that Solomon and the suspects are known to each other, since they had a misunderstanding over a football game about eight months ago.
According to reports on February 5, around 18:30hrs, Solomon was sitting in front of his residence when the suspects confronted him.
According to his mother, the suspects approached her son and rushed towards him, stabbing him about his body before he fell to the ground. The perpetrators then made good their escape on foot. After the incident, the mother and public-spirited persons picked up Solomon and took him to the West Demerara Regional Hospital where he was seen and examined by a doctor, who pronounced him dead. The police subsequently arrested all three brothers. Under questioning, one of the brothers allegedly admitted to stabbing Solomon because of a previous confrontation in which he had suffered injuries to the face and hand.
