Gold miner Bryan Green was remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann Mc Lennan after he appeared in her court yesterday in relation to an indictable charge stating that on April 15th, 2018, while at a shop at Quartz Stone Backdam, Cuyuni, he fatally chopped Brazilian citizen Adrin Sousa Santos.
According to facts presented in the court, Santos went to a shop where he met Green drinking with a woman. Santos and Green became involved in a ‘talking’ about the female, and the 33-year-old Green departed the premises.
He later returned, armed with a cutlass, and dealt Santos two chops on his right hand. Santos reportedly collapsed, and bled to death before he was transported to the hospital.
According to Acting ‘F’ Division Commander Kevin Adonis, ranks were sent to the scene on Sunday afternoon to investigate the matter. They returned on Monday evening.
Green is expected to appear before the Bartica magistrate on May 10.
