Shinella Indarally, 45, and Mary Anne Lionel, 25, the mother and daughter who allegedly attempted to obstruct the course of justice by offering a bribe to Police to stop investigations into the murder of Corentyne carpenter, Faiyaz Narinedatt, on Monday reappeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
Both women appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, during which their Attorney, Stanley Moore, made a lengthy petition for bail.
Moore said in his application that the defendants are sorry for the crime that they have committed and will, if granted bail, refrain from doing anything that will further obstruct investigations.

However, McLennan after listening to his request said that if the defendants are granted bail they will tamper with witnesses in the matter and as such she denied the request.
The matter will return to Court Two on December 14.
Six persons have been charged for Narinedatt’s murder.
Excavator operator Radesh Motie, 39; Harripaul Parsram, a labourer, 49; hire-car driver Nirone Yacoob, 37; and Diodat Datt, 18, were first charged after they allegedly confessed to the killing and told Police what had occurred.
Days later Orlando Dickie, the body guard of the alleged mastermind Marcus Bisram, was also slapped with a murder charge. Brian Marcus Bisram was charged in absentia.
Two days after Bisram was charged, the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) issued a wanted bulletin for his arrest. The bulletin came two days after the Guyana Police Force had issued a similar bulletin.
Interpol in its bulletin urged persons in the United States to contact the nearest Police Station or 911 once the wanted man is sighted.
Guyana Times was told that Bisram has two stores in the Queens, New York area and one in Manhattan.
It is believed that the man is now in hiding, but local law enforcement officers have confidence in the assistance being provided by Interpol to locate the wanted man.
Bisram became the central point of attraction after he was fingered in the murder of the 26-year-old man by several persons who had confessed.
It is believed that the now wanted man might have made sexual advances towards Narinedatt but was blatantly rejected.
It was due to the embarrassment that he allegedly told his body guard and others who were at a party to kill carpenter. The carpenter was snatched and beaten into an unconscious state then his body dumped on the roadside and ran over with a car to make it appear as if he was the victim of a hit-and-run accident.
Police had initially treated the incident as such but reopened investigations after relatives of the dead man kept calling on the Police to further investigate the circumstances surrounding the death.
