BRIAN Morrison, 25, a solider of Crane Housing Scheme, West Coast Demerara, was charged with murder after being accused of fatally injuring a fellow colleague at the Guyana Defence Force’s (GDF) Camp Stephenson base.
Private Morrison is accused of shooting Tevon Daymon with an AK-47 rifle last Monday.

He appeared at the Diamond/Golden Grove Magistrate’s Court before Senior Magistrate Sunil Scarce where the charge was read to him and he was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
He was then remanded to prison and the matter was adjourned to July 31, 2023 for disclosure of statements.
According to the GDF, Private Daymon died on Monday morning while receiving medical treatment at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, East Bank Demerara. The GDF said preliminary investigation revealed that Private Daymon was shot by Morrison, while they were performing security duties at the base.

Reports indicated that the two had a disagreement during the early hours of Monday when a fight ensued. Unfortunately, this resulted in Morrison grabbing a weapon and further pursued Private Daymon, during which he shot him some 27 times.
The GDF noted that a Board of Inquiry was convened to investigate the circumstances that led to the fatal shooting of Private Daymon.
