Photographer’s murder trial continues as Police officer testifies

Photographer Rayan Carter, of 575 Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, appeared yesterday before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman as the Preliminary Inquiry continued into the murder of Kaneville resident Ishwar Ramanah on January 13th, 2018.
Carter, 22, was not required to enter a plea to the indictable charge, and is

expected to return to court later this month.
The facts presented to the court indicated that Carter was remanded to prison after being charged with the death of the machine operator, who was fatally shot during a robbery at his home in January last.
Ramanah, called ‘Jack,’ of 624 Macaw Drive, Kaneville, East Bank Demerara, was shot in the abdomen during the robbery, which occurred around 12.10 am on December 13th, 2017.
The attack was carried out by two gunmen who invaded his home and robbed him of a $40,000 gold chain.
Ramanah had been rushed to the East Bank Demerara Regional Hospital, where he was treated before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH). He underwent surgery, and had been admitted as a patient of the Intensive Care Unit of the GPHC, where he succumbed.
