2 now charged with murder of Victoria men

Police have instituted a murder charge on another man in connection with the stabbing deaths of two men following a party at Victoria village, East Coast Demerara (ECD) two Sundays ago.
Emperor Emanuel Chung, a 25-year-old painter of Victoria, appeared before Magistrate Christel Lambert at the Vigilance Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday, and was not required to plead after the charge was read to him. He was ultimately refused bail, and has been remanded to prison until February 17, 2024.
After being detained on December 18, Ruel Ward, a 23-year-old labourer of Lot 143-150 Victoria village, was charged last Friday with murder. He, too, was refused bail and has been remanded to prison until January 15, 2024.
Police have said that 24-year -old Youfie Eusi Bobb and 26-year-old William Montrose, both of Victoria, were killed after a celebration in the village turned deadly on Sunday, December 17. Victoria residents Delex Skeete, 25, a plumber, and Siani McFarlene, 19, a mason, sustained injuries during the brawl.
Police reports are that the men were at a construction party called “Bank On It” in Victoria when, at about 03:15h on December 17, Bobb, Skeete and McFarlene allegedly attacked Montrose and took away his 30-pennyweight gold chain.
During the attack, they dealt Montrose several stabs about his body.
Montrose then left, and returned with a cutlass with which he dealt Bobb, McFarlene, and Skeete chops about their bodies before escaping from the scene.
Bobb and the two others were escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where Bobb was pronounced dead on arrival while the other two were admitted as patients.
Police ranks then combed the area, and discovered the body of Montrose in a trench about 500 feet north of the scene. His body was facing upwards, and when fished out of the trench and examined, three wounds were seen on the forehead, one to the left-side upper chest, and two to the right-side jaw. One black-handled knife was also found tucked in his left side waist.
The body was escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where Montrose was pronounced dead on arrival.
According to eyewitnesses, while at the party, they saw a group of men walk up to Montrose, attack him, and rob him of his jewellery and other valuables. This allegedly led to a brawl between Montrose and the group of men, who all chopped and stabbed each other.
