Mon Repos man charged with conspiring to kill business partner remanded

A male resident of Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara has been arraigned before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder.
Thirty-six-year-old Gansham Boodram, a father of one, was on Monday not required to plead to the indictable charge, which alleges that between December 30, 2022 and January 30, 2023, in Georgetown, he conspired with a person or persons to kill Bryan Ogle. Guyana Times understands that Boodram and Ogle are business partners.

Boodram has been refused bail and has been remanded to prison until March 8, 2023.
Attorney-at-Law Jevon Cox, who represented Boodram, has contended that his client was charged only after allegations that he had paid to have Ogle killed were made on a social media show. He told the court that after Boodram became aware of the accusations, he immediately informed the Crime Chief.
According to the court prosecutor, there is a recording of the plot to kill Ogle, and even though Boodram has denied that it is his voice in the recording, the individual with whom he had conspired has since confirmed that the voice is Boodram’s.
The Police had issued a wanted bulletin for Boodram on February 13, and according to his lawyer, within 48 hours thereof, his client had surrendered himself to the Police.
The prosecutor has also said that searches had been carried out for Boodram for close to three weeks, and after he had not been located, the wanted bulletin was issued for him.
Accordingly, the prosecutor objected to Boodram being released on bail, citing that he poses a risk of flight, and that he might tamper with the investigation and the prosecution’s witnesses, given his financial ability.
Those objections were upheld by the presiding magistrate.
