Diamond man slapped with murder charge

An unemployed man of Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD), who was identified as being the gunman who robbed and killed a Kaneville, EBD resident was on Tuesday arraigned for his murder before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
Ryon Carter, of Lot 525 12th Avenue Diamond, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.

The capital charge stated that on December 13, 2017 at Kaneville, the 22-year-old man killed Ishwar Ramanah during the course of a robbery.
He was remanded until February 22 when he would reappear in court.
Ramanah, 30, called “Jack”, of 624 Macaw Drive, Kaneville, was shot to his abdomen when two armed bandits invaded his home just after midnight.
Guyana Times understands that the machine operator was attacked and relieved of a gold chain valued at some $40,000 while at home. Before leaving, one of the gunmen shot Ramanah.
The injured man was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he underwent surgery.
He, however, died one month after the incident. The Police were able to recover a spent shell casing of a small calibre weapon at the crime scene.
