19 year old, Shawn Dos Santos and 18-year old Stephon Howard this morning appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and were charged with the murder of Albion businessman, Fazal Shaheed. Shaheed was shot and killed when gunmen invaded his parents East La Penitence home, two weeks ago. His brothers Talin and Shalim Shaheed also suffered gunshot wounds during the home invasion/robbery.
The men appeared before Chief Magistrate, Ann Mc Lennan where the indictable charge was read to them. Both men were remanded to prison until October, 19th.
The family was preparing for a one-year religious function for their father, when masked gunmen armed with handguns pounced on them.
The Police say the bandits took cash and jewellery during the ordeal.
The Police moved in quickly and immediately cracked the case after they arrested two men from the community. After conducting further investigations the two men were charged with the capitol offence.
