THE case in relation to the deadly gas station bombing was adjourned to December 3, 2025, on Tuesday, after prosecutors made a partial disclosure.
Senior Police legal adviser, Mandel Moore, appeared on Wednesday before Acting Chief Magistrate, Faith McGusty, when the case was called and handed over some statements to the defence.
While the matter was set for disclosure called, Venezuelans Daniel Alexander Ramirez Poedemo, 33 — believed to be the mastermind — Johnny Boodram, 27, and Alexander Bettancourt, 44, appeared before the court on Wednesday.
The prosecutor told the court that only partial disclosure was set to be made and sought another date for complete disclosure.
Against this backdrop, December 3 was set for full disclosure.
Last week, four Venezuelan nationals and three Guyanese were remanded to prison in connection with the deadly explosion at the Mobil fuel station at Regent and King Streets, Georgetown, which claimed the life of six-year-old Soraya Bourne and injured four of her relatives.
The alleged mastermind was charged separately for terrorism, contrary to Section 3(1)(a) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
That charge alleges that, on October 26, 2025, he placed and detonated an explosive device at the Mobil fuel station, with the intent to threaten Guyana’s security and sovereignty or strike terror among the public, resulting in the child’s death.
The other defendants — Boodram, Bettancourt, and LaCruz — were charged jointly with aiding and abetting Poedemo in the act of terrorism.

According to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the case marked one of the most significant national security prosecutions in recent years.
Initial investigations revealed that Poedemo arrived in the country at around 08:00 hours on Sunday, carrying the explosive device used in the attack. Surveillance footage captured him walking into the Regent and King Streets gas station compound with two bulky black plastic bags.
Moments later, the explosion ripped through the area, killing Bourne and injuring four of her relatives-Jenica Hooper (27), Yvonne Jonas (71), Seddia McIntosh, and Reshard Lord (11)—who were seated in the vehicle. The blast also damaged several other vehicles and nearby buildings.
