ALMOST 12 years after Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) employee, Levoy Taljit disappeared without a trace, a 46-year-old man was on Monday remanded to prison for his murder.
Appearing before Magistrate Wanda Fortune at the Diamond/Golden Grove Magistrates’ Court was Ryvan Francis of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara (EBD).

The accused was arrested by the police last week Tuesday. He was not required to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that between December 23 and 27, 2012, he murdered Taljit, who was 25-years-old at the time.
The murder accused was remanded to prison. The matter will be called again on October 9, 2024 for the disclosure of statements.
Taljit, who was a field manager at the GEA, disappeared after leaving his Anira Street, Queenstown, Georgetown home on December 23, 2012. Although several persons of interest were detained and questioned about his disappearance over the years, they were subsequently released.
Since his disappearance, only Taljit’s motor vehicle, a Toyota Raum with number plate PNN 8315 was recovered vandalised along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway; his body has never been found. Meanwhile, a wanted bulletin was issued for Francis in 2022 in connection with the man’s murder.
