As authorities in Guyana and Suriname continue their investigation into the recent pirate attack which left 15 Guyanese fishermen dead or missing, a second man has now been charged locally.
Alexander Denhart called “Shame face” a resident of 79 village Corentyne appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court where he was not required to plea to the indictable charge of murder. DenHart is said to be an accomplice in the deadly attack.
The Court was told that between April 26 and May 3rd he murdered fisherman Tilacknauth Mohabir called Caiman. Mohabir was on a vessel which DenHart allegedly robbed. The matter has been transferred to the Springlands Magistrates’ Court where DenHart is expected to make his second court appearance on June 13th.
The mastermind behind the attack is said to be Nakool Manohar called “Fyah”, who was charged last week for the murder also.
Manohar was also charged with acts of piracy which he allegedly committed in 2015 and 16.
Twenty fishermen were brutally attacked in the deadly incident which occurred in Suriname, five of the men survived, 4 dead bodies were recovered and 11 bodies are still unaccounted for.
