A labourer was today remanded to prison, after he was brought before a city court in relation to the death of Patrick Fraser, who was gunned down while liming with friends at an abandoned house in Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara (EBD) almost two weeks ago.
Kevin Rose, 22, stood before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, who read the charge to him.
It is alleged that Rose, on May 9, at Bagotstown EBD, in the company of others, murdered Fraser during the course or furtherance of a robbery.
Rose, of 1058 19th Street, Diamond Housing Scheme, was not required to plead to the indictable offence.
Police prosecutor Neville Jeffers, told the court that the ballistics report and the post-mortem report are outstanding.
Rose was later remanded to prison and the matter adjourned until June 4.
The accused was represented by attorney Everton Singh-Lammy.
Fraser, who is the grandson of the owner of the C&F Mall next to the Demerara Harbour Bridge, was shot two times— in his leg and abdomen— around 8.30 pm on May 9.
The incident occurred at an abandoned property located at Norton Street, popularly known as the “drug yard”.
In 2016, Rose was one of two persons charged in relation to the illegal possession of a .32 revolver and six matching rounds. He also faced two armed robbery charges and an attempt to commit a felony charge.
The outcomes of those matters are unknown.
