A 37-year-old farmer of Moco Moco Village, Central Rupununi, Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) on Monday appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan slapped with the capital offence of murder.
It is alleged that on December 25, 2018, at Moco Moco Village, Darrel Williams
Murder accused: Darrel Williams
murdered Elvis Aulicio.
The prosecution is contending that Aulicio and the accused, who are known to each other, were imbibing at a birthday celebration when Williams accused him of stealing a haversack, which he denied. Williams, the prosecution stated, became annoyed, armed himself with a knife and followed Aulicio as he made his way into Moco Moco Savannahs. He then allegedly stabbed Aulicio to the neck and left him there to die.
The Chief Magistrate remanded Williams to prison. The case will continue on January 17 at the Lethem Magistrate’s Court.
