DANIEL Parris also known as “Black boy” and Derryck Favourite called “Rastaman”, were, on Monday, jointly charged with the December 7, 2020 murder of Kitty contractor, Peter Gonsalves.

They appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and were remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.

They were not required to plead to the indictable charge.

The charge stated that, on December 7, 2020, at Garnett Street, Newtown, Georgetown, they murdered Peter Gonsalves in the course or furtherance of a robbery under arms.

Kacey Heyliger was the first person to be charged. He made his first court appearance on December 11, 2020. Subsequently, Parris was charged. He made his first appearance in court on February 8, 2021 and was remanded to prison.

After being on remand for two months, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) withdrew the charge against Heyliger.

It is unclear when Favourite was arrested but this newspaper understands that following a police investigation, he and Parris were jointly charged.

According to reports, on the day in question, around 21:00hrs, Gonsalves and his co-worker, were at a bar located at Garnett Street, Kitty, Georgetown, when two men, who were both armed, opened fire in their direction.

After firing shots, the two assailants then escaped on Gonsalves’ XR motorcycle, CJ600. Gonsalves was hit several times and later succumbed to the gunshot injuries, while his co-worker escaped unharmed. Police subsequently collected CCTV footage from the bar. Paris was allegedly nabbed with the stolen motorcycle.

The duo will return to court on May 4, 2021.
