Days after the Police secured confessions from two men in connection with the murder of 53-year-old taxi driver, Kenrick Trim, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has recommended for the Guyana Police Force to institute murder charges against them.
Kenty Bacchus also called “Trini” and Seyon James called “Lil Alfey” are expected to make their court appearance today at the Sparandaan Magistrate’s Court.
The two suspects reportedly met while serving time in prison for armed robbery. Reports are that Bacchus, 34, a welder of Water Street, Georgetown, was arrested on Friday last and taken to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Eve Leary.
At the time of his arrest, he was in possession of the now dead man’s mobile phone – a black Samsung Galaxy A20.
During interrogation, he admitted to committing the crime and implicated 25-year-old James of Laing Avenue, Georgetown.
In his confession, James, a fish vendor, reportedly told detectives that he first met his accomplice while serving time in prison for stealing a mobile phone.
He further related that on Wednesday, June 30, his 34-year-old accomplice picked him up from the minibus park in Georgetown and they travelled to a snackette in Carmichael Street, Georgetown, where they purchased something to eat.
During their conversation, he reportedly told his 34-year-old accomplice that he slept on the streets many nights and solicited his assistance to find a place to stay.
In his confession, the younger of the two convicts said that soon after leaving the snackette, they stopped a taxi which was driven by the now dead man and they both entered.
