Kellorn Crighton of Byderabo Road, Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni- Mazaruni) was on Wednesday charged with the murder of 24-year-old Alston Seon, a miner of Potaro Road, Bartica.
Charged: Kellorn Crighton
The 22-year-old appeared at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Crystal Lambert, who read the charge to him.
He was not required to plead and was remanded to prison. The case will continue on June 9, 2022.
Crighton is accused of killing Seon, who attempted to make peace between him and his friend on Sunday last at Third Street and Third Avenue, Bartica.
Based on reports received, on the day in question, Seon and four others were at the corner of Third Street and Third Avenue, Bartica, liming when Crighton approached one of his friends and began to threaten him saying that he was going to “buss his throat”.
As such, Seon intervened and warned Crighton to desist from making the threats. The suspect then whipped out a knife from the waist of his pants and dealt Seon one stab to the right side of his chest.
Seon reportedly fell to the ground and was picked up by his friend and taken to the Bartica Public Hospital where he succumbed. (G9)
