A THIRTY-eight-year-old security guard accused of fatally stabbing his colleague at the Guyana National Museum has been remanded to prison.
Julian Anthony Lindore appeared on Tuesday before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, where he was charged with the murder of 57-year-old Shawn Lovell.

He was not required to enter a plea and is scheduled to return to court on September 24.

The charge stems from a confrontation on the evening of Saturday, August 30, 2025, which ended in Lovell’s death.
According to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), Lovell, of Campbellville Housing Scheme, Georgetown, had handed over his shift to Lindore at 17:40 hrs.

He reportedly returned about an hour later to the guard hut at the museum, accusing Lindore of stealing his cell phone. The accusation escalated into a heated altercation.
Investigators said Lindore retrieved two knives from his haversack and, during the struggle that followed, stabbed Lovell twice in the back, once in the right shoulder, and four times in the right hand.

Lovell attempted to flee but collapsed into a nearby concrete drain east of the museum. He was later pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).

Police ranks recovered three knives and a cutlass from the guard hut. Several individuals were also interviewed as part of the probe.
Lindore was apprehended at the scene, informed of the allegation, and arrested.
