A 27-year-old miner from Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) was earlier this week remanded to prison after he was charged with the murder of Sherman Phillips.
Appearing before Magistrate Crystel Lambert at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court for the capital offence was Sean Lindore aka “Leather”. He was not required to enter a plea to the indictable charge.
The matter was adjourned to December 28.
According to reports, Phillips called “Sunno”, 4, was viciously chopped, allegedly by Lindore on October 8, 2023, during a land dispute at Sand Hill Backdam, Cuyuni River.
Phillips supposedly accused Lindore and another man of stealing a piece of his land.
After that, there was a fight that culminated with Lindore and his alleged accomplice repeatedly chopping Phillips. Phillips subsequently passed away from his wounds while in the hospital.
The suspected accomplice of Lindore is still wanted by the Police.
