Labourer found not guilty of murdering father of 7

A labourer accused of killing a 50-year-old father of seven has been found not guilty of the crime.
Parmanan Rambarran, also called “Flushing”, a 31-year-old resident of Triumph, East Coast Demerara, had been on trial before Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall and a jury at the Demerara High Court for the December 11, 2020 chopping death of Christopher Findlay, a father of seven and grandfather of five, which occurred at the Triumph, ECD home of the deceased.
Guyana Times had reported that on the night before he was killed, Findlay and Rambarran had reportedly been involved in a scuffle.
According to reports, the next day, Rambarran showed up at Findlay’s house and began to chop him about the body. Findlay had injuries to his elbow, face and eyes when he was found dead in his home.
He died as a result of severe blunt trauma to the head.
The two men had reportedly been friends.
Rambarran’s trial commenced last Thursday after he entered a not-guilty plea to the murder indictment. On Tuesday, however, after upholding the no-case submission made on his behalf by Attorney-at-Law Stacy Goodings, the trial Judge directed the jury to return a formal not-guilty verdict.
State Counsel Delon Fraser and State Counsel Madana Rampersaud had prosecuted the case.
