-accused re-arrested, released
Magistrate Yohannseh Cave upheld no-case submissions in the murder inquiry of University of Guyana student Dennis Edghill yesterday setting free accused, Steve Lovell but police re-arrested the man shortly after and then released him.
Three months after the preliminary inquiry commenced, Lovell was told at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court on the East Coast that the matter was discharged because there was no evidence linking him to the stabbing incident which resulted in Edghill’s death on February 15 at the university’s Turkeyen campus.
Lovell sprinted from the courtroom in elation and was dashing out of the court compound when police at Sparendaam arrested him saying they were acting on instructions. He was detained for several hours and released later in the day.
