“Spin and Kill” for trial Monday over Sophia murder

A 31-year-old Sophia, Greater Georgetown man known as “Spin and Kill” is on trial for the November 2017 murder of 24-year-old Jamal Munroe. Trevis Archer denied the charge when he appeared before Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall on Thursday.
Munroe’s trial will commence on Monday at the High Court in Demerara. He is being represented by Attorney-at-Law Latchmie Rahamat while Senior State Counsel Lisa Cave is appearing on behalf of the prosecution.
It is alleged that on the day in question, Munroe, a labourer of C Field Sophia, was shot and killed following a prolonged rivalry with Archer and another man. Munroe, who sustained gunshot wounds to his legs, upper hand, and lower back, died while receiving treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Following the shooting, the alleged killers escaped but were later captured. The rivalry between the now dead man and the men reportedly started some time back following a reported gambling disagreement.
Munroe was previously charged with robbery under arms. (G1)
