2 other accused plead guilty to Berbice triple murder

Three of the four men indicted for the July 2016 murders of Pawan Chandradeo, 37; his son, Jaikarran Chandradeo, 15, and his brother-in-law Naresh Rooplall, 33, have pleaded guilty.
The latest to do so are Rakesh Karamchand, 30, called “Go-To-Front”, and Carlton Chaitram, 40, also known as “Lie Man”. On Wednesday, they pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter before Justice Sandil Kissoon at the Berbice High Court.
Last month, Carlton Chaitram’s son, 20-year-old Jairam Chaitram pleaded guilty to three counts of murder. Sentencing for him has been deferred to next Thursday, while his father and the others will be sentenced on February 17. Meanwhile, the court is continuing with the trial of the other accused, Tameshwar Jagmohan, also known as “Guana”.
State Counsel Abigail Gibbs is leading the case for the prosecution.
The bodies of the Chandradeos and Rooplall were found days after they left their homes to go on a fishing trip in Black Bush Polder, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne). Their bodies bore one gunshot wound each.
Post-mortem examinations revealed that Pawan Chandradeo, his son, and their relative died as a result of shock and haemorrhage. It was reported that they were shot with a shotgun. (G1)
