Murder accused Navendra Basdeo alias Pone, was yesterday committed to stand trial at the next sitting of the Berbice Assizes following the end of a Preliminary Inquiry into the unlawful killing of Karran Sukdeo, called Vishal , on August 23, 2014, at a wedding house at Johanna , Black Bush Polder, Corentyne.
The committal was made by Magistrate Charlyn Artiga at the Mibicuri Court, where she had earlier ruled that a prima facie case was made out against the defendant, after Police Inspector Elton Davidson, had presented the case for the prosecution.
According to Government Pathologist Dr Vivikanand Brijmohan, Sukdeo died as a result of two stab wounds to his heart.
In addition, other parts of his body had incised wounds resulting in shock and haemorrhage.
