A teen who was among several men accused of the vigilante-style killing of Alfred Munroe, also called “Guana Man” of Manchester Village, Corentyne, Berbice on April 9, has been set free.
Zaffar Seetaram, 18, of Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, walked out of the Whim Magistrate’s Court on Monday a free man after Magistrate Rabindranath Singh ruled that there was not sufficient evidence linking him to the crime.
On September 23, Attorney Mursaline Bacchus made a no-case submission on behalf of Seetaram after the prosecution had closed its case.
The magistrate had set September 30 to make a ruling on the submissions by Bacchus.
Seetaram was remanded along with five others for the vigilante-style killing of Munroe at Bound Yard, Port Mourant, in April.
Meanwhile, Defence Attorney Rabindranath Singh, who is representing four of the defendants, on Monday made a no-case submission to the court, while Bacchus, who is also representing Randolph Samuel, another accused, is expected to make a petition to the court when the preliminary inquiry (PI) continues on October 7.
Those on trial for the death of Munroe are Randolph Samuel, called “Rudy”, 22; Aris Cecil, 21; Richard Griffith, called “Buck Head”, 19; Michael Lewis, called “Mickey”, 31; and Khruhnaraj Jagde, 47, all of Rose Hall Town, Corentyne.
