Just 72 hours after Police had issued a wanted bulletin for 29-year-old Rondell Richardson for questioning in relation to the murder of 29-year-old Jomal Adams of Cooper Street East La Penitence, Georgetown, he surrendered to Police.
Charged: Rondell Richardson
Richardson turned up at the Brickdam Police Station in Georgetown with his lawyer Dexter Todd on Thursday and was subsequently arrested and charged for murder.
The man was remanded for the capital offence when he appeared before Magistrate Sherdell Isaacs-Marcus. The matter has been adjourned to May 25.
Richardson is accused of killing Adams on Saturday last, during an argument over a cellphone.
Police had said that the two men were involved in a heated argument during which the suspect armed himself with a pair of scissors and dealt the now dead man several blows to his chest.
In an attempt to escape his attacker, the now deceased began to run, but the suspect went in pursuit. After catching up with Adams, the suspect continued to stab him to his back.
After committing the act, Richardson allegedly sprinted from the scene and went into hiding.
Dead: Jomal Adams
When Guyana Times had visited the home of the dead man on Sunday last, his mother Dionne Adams was pleading for justice for her son. The woman told this publication that Richardson was her son’s very close friend and she was shocked over the incident.
She said her son was reportedly watching pornography on the suspect’s phone when the phone slipped out of his hand and broke. She said her son had said that he would have replaced the phone when he received his salary, which would have been two days after the incident.
