Adams was not required to plead to the indictable charge he faces: which stated that he killed Michael Jackson on October 10, 2024 at Number 76 Housing Scheme.
The matter has been adjourned to March 27, when the prosecution is expected to provide a report on its readiness to proceed with the trial.

RECAP
It has been reported that Corentyne fisherman Michael Jackson was allegedly stabbed by his 27-year-old brother-in-law Terrence Simon Adams last October. Jackson succumbed to his injuries at the Skeldon Hospital a short while after the incident.
Jackson’s sister Selina Gobin has said she was at the bridge of a wake house when her brother Michael Jackson informed her that he had been stabbed by his brother-in-law Terrence Simon Adams.
“He go in inside and raise up his shirt and show me his back where he get bore. When I check, I didn’t see nothing, and he say is at the side. When I check at the side, there was a bore, and he say that he feeling dizzy, like he get inside bleeding,” Gobin had told this publication last October.
“The street was full with people, and there was loud music, so I didn’t hear nothing,” she added.

Jackson’s mother, Radica Rajkumar, who had not been at home at the time of the incident, said Terrence Adams and her son Michael Jackson had had an ongoing feud that dating back to February 2024.
She explained that while Adams lived at her house, her son Jackson had not been living there.
“A couple days ago, they had an argument and they had a fight. The fight start at Number 77 and they end up here. I try to part them. Terrence had a cutlass and ‘Junior’ had a wood. I take away the cutlass from Terrence, and they cuss up one another; both of them cuss one another. ‘Junior’ left and he went home. Now he come to the wake house for two days, and I didn’t see he tell Terrence nothing, but what happen last night I don’t know,” she detailed.
Rajkumar explained that during the argument between the two men, her son had been abusive to her and she had asked him to leave the home.
Nevertheless, although she was not on speaking terms with her son, she is not taking his death lightly.
“I want justice. It is two of my children gone under that one family, and want justice. If the brother-in-law has to go to jail, I am not concerned,” she had said.
