FOUR persons were on Monday remanded to prison for the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Keon McPherson, whose lifeless body was found in a yard at ‘C’ Field, Sophia Georgetown. Nicholas Hercules, called ‘Bucko’; Brenna Nurse; Devon Harry, called ‘Beer’; and Peter Lam appeared at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Alisha George, but were not required to plead to the charge which alleges that on August 15, 2021, at ‘C’ Field, Sophia, they murdered McPherson. Magistrate George remanded the defendants to prison until September 17 for reports.  The Guyana Chronicle was made to understand that Nurse is McPherson’s mother-in-law, while the three male co-accused are her son’s friends.  It is alleged that on August 14, McPherson and his in-laws were involved in an altercation, during which he was beaten by Nurse and the three men.  He somehow managed to escape the beating and went home, but around midnight, he reportedly received a call from a female and left. Four hours later, at around 04:00 hours on the morning of August 15, he was found dead in a yard at ‘C’ Field, Sophia Georgetown. Police said an unknown woman telephoned the police command centre and reported seeing a man lying motionless in a yard at ‘C’ Field, Sophia. According to the woman, the man appeared to have blood on his skin. Subsequent investigations by the police revealed that the man had a gunshot wound in the left side of his chest and another on his right hand.
