Muammar Jabbar, also known as Christopher Haynes, on Monday appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged for the 2013 murder of Tolasicy Marshall of James St, Albouystown, Georgetown.
Jabbar, who had been on the run from Police and wreaking havoc in Berbice, appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus and was not required to plead to the charge. The Police stated that on August 20, 2013 at James Street, Albouystown, he murdered Marshall.
The court heard that Jabbar, a father of two, was charged in Berbice for his involvement in a spate of armed robberies in that region and was arrested while on remand for that charge under the name ‘Christopher Haynes’.
Prosecutor Daniels requested an adjournment in the matter since the Police file was still incomplete. As such, Jabbar who was remanded to prison will make another court appearance on June 24, 2019.
It was reported that in August 2013, Jabbar stabbed Marshall twice during an argument over jewellery.
It was stated that Marshall paid Jabbar to make a quantity of jewellery for him, but the man failed to deliver same. Marshall was able to retrieve a gold chain from Jabbar.
This reportedly triggered an argument and it was then Marshall was attacked and stabbed. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital. Ever since, the suspect has been on the run.
