Sharmila Inderjali and Maryanne Lionel, the two women who allegedly offered a police officer $4 million in cash to release the accused in the murder of Number 70 Village carpenter Faiyaz Narinedatt, were yesterday each granted $1.5 million bail by a city Magistrate.
Bail in the sum of $1,500,000 each, was granted to Inderjali, 45, and Lionel, 25, after their lawyer made another application on their behalf to Magistrate Leron Daly.
The Magistrate who had refused bail for the women in the past, yesterday made a decision to grant them bail with conditions attached. She told Inderjali and Lionel that they have to report to the Springlands Police Station, Corentyne and the Police Headquarters, at Eve Leary, Georgetown on Mondays and Fridays, as conditions of their bail. The women are also required to lodge their passports with the court.
The trial was adjourned until January 30.
The charge against the two women states that they corruptly offered $4 million to an officer on November 19, 2016, at Eve Leary, to forego charges against the suspects in custody for the murder, as well as Marcus Bisram, Inderjali’s son, who is overseas and is wanted by local authorities in relation to the murder.
Bisram, Radesh Motie, Diodath Datt, Harri Paul Parsram, Niran Yacoob and Orlando Dickie were charged with the murder of Narinedatt. Bisram, police have alleged, procured and commanded the men to murder Narinedatt between October 31 and November 1, 2016, at Number 70 Village, Berbice.
