By Farah Bates – Murder accused, Marcus Bisram was today committed to stand trial at the High Court after the matter was called at the Whim Magistrates’ court before Magistrate Renita Singh.
Magistrate Singh discharged the case on March 30th after she found insufficient evidence for the accuse to stand trial.
However; hours after being freed, Bisram was re-arrested by police on the Corentyne and the Director of Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) then instructed Magistrate Singh to reopen the preliminary inquiry into the murder charge against overseas based businessman.
Magistrate Singh, followed the orders given by the DPP and reopened the case last Thursday but did not change her ruling which stated that there was not enough evidence to commit the accuse, as such she noted that she will seek further guidance from the DPP on the way forward.
During his appearance Magistrate Singh noted that Ms. Shalimar Ali-Hack is satisfied with the evidence and ordered for Bisram to be committed to the High court for the murder of carpenter Faiyaz Narinedatt.
