2 teens, mother charged for killing Berbice security guard
Two teenagers, along with the mother of one of them, were on Friday remanded to prison for the murder of a Corentyne, Berbice security guard.
Carlos Ballers, 19, of Williamsburg; and Yuvraj Singh, 17, of Guava Bush, Albion Front, Berbice, appeared before Magistrate Renita Singh at the Albion Magistrate’s Court. The two were jointly charged. Also charged was Lalita Ballers of Section E, Port Mourant. However, she was charged separately also for murder.
The three are accused of killing Munisperen Iyasammy Monien of Lot 45 Clifton, Port Mourant, Corentyne, during the course of a robbery on March 31. They were
all remanded and the case will continue on April 23.
Reports are Monien’s body was discovered in a pool of blood in a storeroom at Sukhsram General Store at Lot 13 Public Road, Rose Hall.
The 53-year-old provided security services for two years for the store which sells agricultural products; working a 12-hour shift, which commenced at 17:00h.
Following the discovery of the body, it was also discovered that money which was being kept in the store was missing.
It was also reported that when the store was closed on Saturday afternoon, $1.5 million was locked in a draw inside. The money is reportedly missing.
Police later arrested all of the employees following a theory that the robbery/murder was an inside job.
Two days after, Ballers reportedly confessed to
plotting the robbery and also implicated Singh, who later also allegedly confessed.
As the Police continued to probe, Ballers allegedly took them to a house at Port Mourant where his mother lives. The woman reportedly went to a section of the yard and dug up some money, which was buried.
Her son also reportedly showed the investigators where he had hidden the murder
weapon.
Meanwhile, the Police are searching for another suspect.
