Man accused of murdering brother remanded

QUINCY Chase, who allegedly stabbed his brother to death after he confronted him about assaulting their mother, was, on Tuesday, remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.

During his appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, he was not required to plead to the indictable charge which states that on Friday, June 25, 2021, at Cummings Street, Bourda, Georgetown, he murdered Paul Anthony Chase.

According to the prosecution, the brothers lived together and would make daily trips to their mother’s Cummings Street home for meals.

On the date in question, their mother confronted Quincy about a burnt spot on a mattress. Quincy reportedly became annoyed and dealt his mother a cuff to her face which caused her to receive injuries to her left eye.

Paul immediately confronted Quincy, who armed himself with a knife and inflicted a stab wound to Paul’s left side chest.

Members of an emergency medical team later pronounced Paul dead. Quincy was arrested and later charged.

The matter was adjourned until Thursday, July 22, 2021.
