Inmate to be charged for murder at Lusignan Prison

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has advised the police to institute a murder charge against an inmate in relation to one of the two killings that occurred this year at the Lusignan Prison. This was confirmed on Monday by Director of Prisons, Gladwyn Samuels.
Samuels was, however, unable to say if the individual would be charged in relation to the first or second killing as he is still to receive relevant documentation. The Prison Director disclosed that in relation to the other killing, the police were advised to conduct additional investigations and forward the file to the DPP.
There were two killings this year at the penitentiary. The first one occurred on Tuesday, April 21, 2020, and the other on August 18, 2020. In both cases, the victims were chopped to death. Based on reports, Jason Dundas, 31, of Anns Grove, East Coast Demerara, was chopped about his body during a fight with two inmates. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he died.

He was remanded to prison in August 2019 for trafficking in narcotics. It was alleged that on August 22, 2019, at Corn Hill Street, Georgetown, he had in his possession 43.772 kilograms or (96.5 pounds) of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. The drugs were unearthed after Police conducted a search on his stall.
Meanwhile, 40-year-old Aldryn Adonis, also known as “Shawn Peters”, who was remanded for simple larceny, was killed on August 18, 2020. According to reports, the man and four other inmates were involved in a fight during which he was seriously chopped to the head, chest, hands and feet.
Police had stated that Adonis was in the Bay Two area, while the suspects were in Bay One. On the day in question, Adonis jumped the fence which separates the two bays. Whilst in Bay One, an argument ensued between himself and the suspects. A fight ensued sometime after.
He was taken to the medical outpost at the prison and then escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was admitted a patient in a critical condition.
