AFTER almost four years ‘on the run’, Damian Bissoon, accused of fatally stabbing a 27-year-old man at Barr and Alexander Streets, Kitty, Georgetown, was arraigned on Wednesday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

33-year-old Bissoon, a labourer whose recorded address is Shell Road, Kitty, was arraigned before Chief Magistrate, Ann McLennan.
The accused was not required to plead to the charge which alleged that on March 30, 2018, at Barr and Alexander Streets, Kitty, he murdered Taj Andrew Jarvis.

Represented by attorney-at-law, George Thomas, Bissoon was remanded to prison. He will return to court on May 17.
According to reports relating to the incident, the now-deceased Jarvis was walking along Alexander Street, Kitty when he was approached by Bissoon.

Bissoon reportedly asked the now-deceased man for money.
Jarvis reportedly told Bissoon that he did not have any money and continued walking. The facts of the case claim that Bissoon became annoyed by the response. A confrontation reportedly ensued.

During the melee, Bissoon allegedly pulled out a sharp instrument and stabbed Jarvis before making good of his escape.
Jarvis, of Dowding Street, Kitty, sustained stab wounds to his chest and chin and was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

The police had issued a wanted bulletin for Bissoon in connection with the murder.
On Monday last, after being on the run from law enforcement, Bissoon turned himself over to the police with his lawyer by his side.

When questioned about the allegation, Bissoon reportedly denied killing Jarvis.
