TIMES INT'L

…by man of unsound mind

A security guard attached to the Hopkinson Security Service was slapped with a manslaughter charge and later appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday.

Christopher Ambrose, of Lot 1324 Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD), the 55-year-old was made to stand before the Chief Magistrate, Ann McLennan.
It is being alleged that on October 24, 2017 at Seven Hour, Butterfly Backdam, Cuyuni, he unlawfully killed Raimar Batista DeSouza.
The defendant was represented by Attorney-at-Law Latchmie Rahamat who pleaded his case, explaining to the Chief Magistrate that her client was defending himself from the now deceased man, who was at the time attempting to kill him.
She noted that if the defendant had not defended himself, he could have been killed by DeSouza. Attorney Rahamat asked that bail be granted to her client on these grounds.
Police Prosecutor Arvin Moore had no objections to bail, but requested that the defendant lodge his travel documents at the Bartica Police Station.
Magistrate McLennan granted bail to Ambrose in the sum of G$500,000 and asked that he report to the Bartica Police Station every Friday, pending the outcome of the matter.
Ambrose is scheduled to make his next appearance on November 16, 2017 at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court.
