2 Essequibo Coast men slapped with attempted murder charge

Two men from the Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), have been remanded to prison after being jointly charged with attempted murder.
Rohit Lall, 29, a labourer of Walton Hall, and Alexander Benjamin, 18, a labourer of Windsor Castle, were charged with the offence of Attempt to Commit Murder, contrary to Section 103 (C) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
The charge alleges that on February 22 at Walton Hall, Essequibo Coast, they attempted to commit murder on Rajver Biseram, also known as Ravesh.
Both accused appeared before Magistrate Ravindra Mohabir at the Anna Regina Magistrate’s Court on Friday last. The indictable charge was read to them, and they were not required to enter a plea.
The prosecutor objected to bail, and both men were remanded to prison. The matter was adjourned to April 13.
In 2022, Rajver Biseram, also known as Ravesh of Walton Hall, Essequibo Coast, pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. He was fined $30,000 and ordered to complete 180 hours of community service, failing which he would face three years’ imprisonment.
