A teenager was remanded yesterday after he appeared in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court charged with the murder of the 79-year-old Wakenaam, Essequibo Island woman who was found dead in her Sans Souci home on Monday. Latchman Persaud, 17, called `Saramakatoy’ was not required to plead to the indictable charge when it was read to him by Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle.
It is alleged that the youth murdered Dhanwantie, known as `Auntie’, at Sans Souci, Wakenaam between May 25 and 26.
