The West Berbice man who stabbed his girlfriend to death on Saturday evening had been remanded to prison.

Shazim Kaili of Shieldstown, West Bank Berbice, Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice) appeared before Magistrate Rhondell Weaver at the Blairmont Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday charged with the capital offence of murder.

He was not required to plea to the indictable charge which stated that on January 17, at Rosignol, Berbice, he murdered Shazien Mohamed of Edinburgh Housing Scheme, East Bank Berbice, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).

Meanwhile, an autopsy conducted on the body of Mohamed on Tuesday revealed that the teen died as a result of shock and hemorrhage due to multiple stab wounds.

Magistrate Weaver remanded Kaili until February 17 when the Police are expected to present a report on the case. Police Prosecutor, Inspector Grace Bristol is presenting the State’s case while the accused is still unrepresented.

Guyana Times International had reported that on Saturday last, Shazien left home to collect a cellphone from a friend at Rosignol. She later went to a restaurant with a friend and his sister and while the sister was eating inside, Shazien and the friend stayed at a table outside of the restaurant. Her friend said he left her at the table for only a few seconds, when he heard Shazien scream and saw her holding her stomach, as blood soaked her clothing. The suspect was seen running away.

According to the report carried in this newspaper, Kaili was later arrested and what is believed to be the murder weapon was recovered at his home.

Additionally, Inspector Bristol told the court that the Police are in possession of a confession statement which the accused allegedly made.
