The hunter who is accused of shooting a cane harvester to death was remanded to prison when he appeared at the Reliance Court yesterday before Magistrate Geeta Chandan.
It is alleged that around 5:30 pm on January 24, 30-year-old Wazim Bux of Kilcoy, Corentyne murdered Ahmad Razack, 45 of ‘Kilcoy Front.’
Bux, who was unrepresented stood emotionless in the dock as the charges were read to him.
The case was transferred to the Albion Magistrate’s Court where Bux is scheduled to appear on January 24 for report.
Reports are that Bux who was previously involved in a relationship with the wife of the deceased, shot him in his right ear at close range and he appeared to have died on the spot.
A post-mortem report proved that Razack died from shock and haemorrhage due to gunshot wounds.
Razack and his wife had allegedly gone to his in-laws’ yard at ‘Kilcoy Back’ to pick up bricks when he was shot.
The suspect then reportedly snatched the wife from behind and attempted to flee with her through an abandoned rice field behind the house – from where he apparently entered – while threatening to shoot her.
According to reports the woman managed to overpower the accused during a struggle and escaped while he turned back and bolted through the rice field.
