Rodent Control Officer arraigned for cane harvester’s murder
Twenty-five-year-old Donald Grovesnor, called “Black Boy”, of Lot 19 Sideline Dam, Sister’s Village, West Bank Demerara (WBD), was on Thursday arraigned with the chopping to death of a cane harvester.
The accused appeared at the Wales Magistrate’s Courts before Magistrate Zameena Ali-Seepaul and was slapped with the indictable offence.
It is alleged that on March 3, 2019, at Wales, he murdered 29-year-old Suraj Jailall, called “Neshal”, of Lot 92 Sideline Dam, Sister’s Village.
He was remanded to prison and will make his next court appearance on March 27 for reports.
Dead: Suraj Jailall
The victim, Jailall, died on March 4 while receiving medical attention at the West Demerara Regional Hospital. According to reports, the chopping incident resulted in a section of the now dead man’s ear being severed.
The chopping incident allegedly stemmed from an earlier argument between the two men on Sunday last.
Guyana Times understands that the duo was imbibing when an argument ensured. Sometime later, the suspect reportedly accosted Jailall but subsequently released him and went home.
However, Grovesnor returned with a cutlass and dealt Jailall the fatal blow to his head. Jailall was taken to the hospital where he was treated but later succumbed to his injures.
