A man was on Thursday remanded to prison for the murder of 24-year-old Roy Ross, who was found stabbed to death in his Swan, Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke/Linden Highway home.
Murder accused Ewert Calistro
Ewert Calistro was arraigned before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Diamond/Golden Grove Magistrates’ Courts.
The charge he faced stated that between April 4 and April 5, he murdered Ross.
The 23-year-old murder accused was remanded to prison, and the case will continue on May 11.
Guyana Times had previously reported that the lifeless body of Ross was discovered in his home with stab wounds thereon. It was reported that the young man had recently moved to the neighbourhood, where he had been renting a house along with his reputed wife and child.
Based on reports, the body of the late Roy Ross, who had worked as a labourer at a poultry farm, was found by a neighbour who called out for him and received no response.
Ross’s body reportedly bore stab wounds to the chest and shoulder.
He had last been seen alive on the evening of April 4, 2021 in his yard with a torchlight, making checks around his home. At the time, he was at home alone; his wife and child had gone to visit relatives.
The Police have said that Calistro confessed to the killing. He reportedly told detectives that he and an accomplice had gone to Ross’s home with the intention of “committing an unlawful act with a female occupant of the house.”
However, on arrival at the house, the duo was reportedly confronted by Ross, who was in the living room at the time. A scuffle ensued among them, during which Ross was fatally stabbed.
Dead: Roy Ross
Calistro reportedly told detectives that after committing the act, he and his accomplice escaped via an open window.
