By Farah Bates – Millionaire businessman Marcus Bisram remains in custody at the Springlands Police station after he was re-arrested Monday following the dismissal of a no submission case which saw him walking free.
The US based Bisram is accused of murdering Corentyne Carpenter, Faiyaz Narinedatt.
The case was heard on Monday at the Whim Magistrates’ Court by Magistrate Renita Singh who indicated that the state does not have sufficient evidence to have the multi-millionaire stand trial even though State Prosecutor, Stacy Goodings argued that there was sufficient evidence to have Bisram face the high court.
He was freed of the charge But that freedom was short lived and hours after threatening to sue the State, the police were instructed to re-arrest him.
At the time he was celebrating his freedom with family, friends and three cars filled with bodyguards.
He was taken to the station but refused to exit his vehicle and requested the presence of his lawyers.
The Department of Public Prosecution stated that there was enough evidence for Bisram to stand trial at the High Court and directed the Magistrate to have the case reopened.
In an interview with Police Commander, Calvin Brutus, he noted that Bisram remains behind bars and is expected to face the court sometime this week.
Outside the courtroom, Bisram stated that he will sue the state as he feels it was a matter of political direction and Religious persecution by the DPP due to the deceased religious beliefs.
The deceased, Faiyaz Narinedatt, was killed during October 31st and November 1st 2016 at #70 Village in what was suspected to be a hit and run accident, but a few weeks after police were able to prove that Narinedatt was murdered.
Five men were arrested for the murder after the Police Major Crimes Unit cracked the case in the latter part of 2016 and it was revealed that the killing was ordered by Bisram who made sexual advances to Narinedatt during a party at his house on October 31st.
Narinedatt, allegedly slapped Bisram; rejecting his sexual advances which led to the Bisram ordering 5 of his friends to kill the young man and staged the act as a hit and run.
Bisram lost his extradition case to Guyana in November last after a US Judge ruled that there was sufficient evidence for him to be extradited to Guyana to face charges.
