Accused to know fate today in Berbice triple murder

Another accused in the Black Bush Polder (BBP) 2016 triple murder will know his faith today after Justice Sandil Kissoon sums up the trial and the jury presents its verdict.
On trial for the July 2016 triple murder is Tameshwar Jagmohan, known as “Guava,” of Mibicuri South, Black Bush Polder.
He is accused of murdering Pawan Chandradeo, 38; his son Jaikarran Chandradeo, 15; and his brother-in-law Naresh Rooplall, 33, at Mibicuri Backdam.
It is alleged that between July 21 and 22, 2016, while in the company of others in the BBP, he murdered the trio.
On Wednesday, the prosecution closed its case and Jagmohan gave an unsworn statement before the defence closed its case.
Justice Kissoon is expected to address the jury today.
When the case opened in January, four persons were on trial for the triple murder but the number one accused – Jairam Chetram, 24 – pleaded guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter.
State Prosecutor, Attorney-at-Law Abigail Gibbs told the court that the quartet had gone into the backdam to steal fuel from a farmer and they killed the trio who was there on a fishing expedition.
The trio was killed because they may have witnessed the theft of fuel.
According to Gibbs, Chetram had given Police a caution statement in which he confessed to the killings.
According to Gibbs, “In his words, he said ‘When abbe start fa lash the back pon the tank me see two men and a lil boy run coming so we have the gun with eight load, this is daddy gun, and me buss two load in the air and three a them run’ and they stood next to his boat.”
She told the court that according to the statement Jairam gave to the Police, he then went after the trio and realised that it was Suresh (Pawan Chandradeo), his son (Jaikarran Chandradeo), and another man (Naresh Rooplall – his brother-in-law). She noted that the accused told investigators that he knew Suresh because he used to work with “all awe.”
It was then he decided that, “We can’t lef no evidence. Me shoot them one, one and them fall down pon a dam, and I load back the gun, I go over them head and I shoot them at them head.”
The trial Judge ordered a probation report which should be presented in court today, following which sentencing will be handed down.
After that guilty plea, the other two accused also pleaded guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter.
Carlton Chaitram, called “Lyma” of Mibicuri, BBP, and Rakesh Karamchand called “Go-To-Front,” who are both represented by Attorneys Marceline Bacchus and Chandra Sohan, entered the three separate guilty pleas on February 2.
Probation reports have also been ordered for them and are expected to be presented on February 17.
Meanwhile, Forensic Pathologist Dr Vivikand Brijmohan, who was the last witness for the prosecution, told the court that all three victims died as a result of shock and haemorrhage due to gunshot wounds.
He said the teenager was shot to his temple and the bullet went through his head, shattering his skull and disfiguring his brain.
His father also received similar injuries while Rooplall’s entire brain was removed from his head by the pellets from the shotgun.
Jagmohan is being represented by Attorney-at-Law Surihya Sabsook. (G4)
