One day after being charged with possession of an illegal firearm and matching ammunition, Dwayne Castello, 27, also called “Top cat,” was on Friday remanded to prison after he was charged with murder.
Dead: Navindra Samaroo
Castello, of East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
The charge detailed that on July 23, 2020, at Middle Road, La Penitence, Georgetown, he murdered Navindra Samaroo during a robbery.
Samaroo, who was a marketing representative, had visited a city bank and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) to conduct the company’s business before heading home to collect his lunch. However, on his way back to work, he was gunned down.
Police managed to make a breakthrough in the case last week when Castello was arrested after he opened fire at members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF).
Magistrate Daly remanded Castello to prison and the case will continue on December 1, 2020.
Charged: Dwayne Castello, called “Top Cat”

He will make a court appearance on September 23, 2020, before Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty in relation to these charges. (G1)
