‘Cheebu’ to be sentenced on March 17

COME March 17, Justice Gino Persaud is expected to pass sentence on Alvin Calder, called “Cheebu” or “CD,” who was recently found guilty of unlawfully killing a man during a brawl at White Water Landing, Mahdia, in 2007. In February, Calder, formerly of Great Diamond, East Bank Demerara, was found guilty by a 12-member jury at the Essequibo High Court for the April 12, 2007, unlawful killing of Joseph Willie. On March 9, Calder’s probation report was tendered in court and his sentencing was deferred until March 17. The Guyana Chronicle had reported that Calder told police that Willie owed him money and was refusing to honour his debt. On the day in question, the men were involved in an argument over the outstanding money. It was alleged that Willie, who was armed with a cutlass, confronted Calder. However, Calder ran away and fired a gun in Willie’s direction. Willie was hit and later succumbed to his injuries. Calder was subsequently arrested in Georgetown.
