Three men were on Monday charged with murdering Corentyne businesswoman Su Di Wong, who was shot dead after gunmen invaded her home six months ago.
Cordel Small, Delroy Parks and Premchand Kalicharran were remanded to prison by Magistrate Charlyn Artiga after being charged with the capital offence at the Whim Magistrates’ Court.
The matter was transferred to the Number 51 Village Magistrate’s Court, where it will be called on September 28.
Di Wong, 44, was killed on the evening of February 8, when two bandits invaded her Number 57 Village, Corentyne, Berbice premises.
The police, in a press release, had said that Di Wong, her husband and two sons, were having dinner in their restaurant, Jin Li Lai, which was closed for business, when two men, one of whom was armed with a firearm, entered through an open door.
Stabroek News was told that as the family sat down to eat, Di Wong returned to the kitchen, where she was attacked. She screamed, alerting her family that something was amiss.
Her son, Su Zhuo Xing, had told this newspaper that upon checking, he saw two men in the kitchen with his mother. He said the men were armed with a cutlass and a gun and were demanding valuables from his mother.
He said his father left him and his 13-year-old brother in the restaurant and went to his mother’s defence.
It was then, Su said, that they heard an explosive noise and rushed to the kitchen where they saw the two men running away, their mother lying on the ground in a pool of blood and their shocked father standing there.
Di Wong was rushed to the Skeldon Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
