Berbician to be sentenced for killing father of 1

Forty-year-old Kareem Charles of Bennet Dam, Rosignol, West Coast Berbice is now awaiting sentencing after admitting to murdering Bennet Dam resident Arshad Ally, a 24-year-old father of one, on March 1, 2019 at Rosignol.
At his arraignment on Tuesday before Justice Jo-Ann Barlow at the Berbice High Court in New Amsterdam, Charles pleaded guilty to murder, and Justice Barlow deferred his sentencing to January 30, in order to hear probation and other social impact reports.
Charles is being represented by Attorney Kevin Morgan while the State is being represented by State Counsel Muntaz Ali.
On March 1, 2019, at Rosignol, West Coast Berbice, Ally was on his way to see his newborn baby at the New Amsterdam Hospital when Charles hit in the head with a metal pipe in an alleged act of revenge.
Ally, who with his family had moved to Bennet Dam about two months prior to his demise, died from shock and haemorrhage due to blunt trauma to the head.
Ally and his wife would have celebrated their first wedding anniversary in April 2019. (G1)
