Duo arraigned for biker’s murder

A duo was jointly arraigned for the murder of Patrick Matthew Fraser, also called “White boy” when they appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday.

Twenty-two-year-old Kevin Rose known as “Boyo” of Lot 1058 Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, and 23-year-old Shamar Moore known as “Frankie” of Lot 108 Parfait Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, were not required to plead to the indictment charge which stated that on May 9, 2019, at Norton Street, Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara, they murdered Fraser.
Police Prosecutor Shellon Daniels told the court that the prosecution file is incomplete while noting that they are awaiting the post-mortem result, along with the ballistic report.
The court heard that the duo was recently released from prison. Rose served a four-year sentence for a gun-related charge and Moore served a nine-month sentence for breaking and entering. Both men were released from prison in April 2019.
Patrick Fraser was shot twice in the yard of a burnt house in Bagotstown, EBD, while he was hanging out with friends. It was reported that the young man was shot to his arm and abdomen and was rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, where he succumbed while receiving medical attention.
Based on information received, the police were able to arrest Rose, who during interrogation, confessed to killing the young man. In fact, he wanted a gun that the now dead biker was carrying.
Further, Moore was later arrested and he too was charged for the heinous crime. They will make their next court appearance on June 19, 2019.
