18-year-old Trevon Williams was remanded to prison on Friday for the fatal stabbing of a gold miner during an altercation last week.
The incident occurred at about 02:30h on Monday, December 29, 2025, at Caumeru, Wakapoa Village, Lower Pomeroon River in Region Two, resulting in the death of 25-year-old Nicholas Fredericks, also of Wakapoa Village.
Based on reports received, the two men, both gold miners, are from the same village and are known to each other.
On December 29, there was an altercation between the suspect and the deceased stemming from a previous row between relatives at a function held in the village.
The altercation escalated, during which Williams used a pair of scissors to stab Fredericks at least four times – twice to his upper left-side chest, once to his lower right-side abdomen, and once to his left-side ear.
Williams was subsequently arrested and confessed to committing the crime. He was then slapped with the offence of murder contrary to common law of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
He appeared at the Anna Regina Magistrate Court on Friday and was not required to enter a plea when the murder charge was read to him by Magistrate Ravindra Mohabir and was subsequently remanded to prison.
Williams will return to court on January 12.
