Lalita Bollers, the Corentyne woman who was charged with being an accessory after the fact in the murder of a Rose Hall Town security guard last, was freed after a no case submission was upheld by the High Court in Berbice this week.
In 2018, Lalita Bollers, 44, of Lot 1 Section ‘E’ Ramphal Street, Port Mourant, Corentyne, was charged with receiving, relieving and comforting the two accused in the murder of Muneshprem Ayasammy Monien on Sunday April 1st, 2018.
However, Bollers’s attorney, Tanya Warren Clements, presented a no-case submission on Wednesday and it was upheld by Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
Her son, Carlos Bollers, 20, of Lot 119 Williamsburg Village, Corentyne and Yuvraj Singh, 18, of Lot 23 Guava Bush, Albion Front, Corentyne, were charged with murdering Monien, 53, during the course or furtherance of a robbery.
Both accused are presently awaiting a trial in the High Court.
In early April, 2018, Monien’s battered body was discovered at Sukhram’s General Store and Agro Chemicals, where he was working in Rose Hall Town. His throat was slit and he had a head wound, two broken legs and other injuries.
Police suspected an inside job since there were no signs of any forced entry at the business. As a result, seven of the 12 persons who were taken into custody for questioning were employees of the store. Shortly after, one of the accused reportedly confessed to the crime and implicated one of his co-workers, who was also in police custody. Police had said that the second suspect also confessed.
Investigators were told of the location of the murder weapon as well as a large portion of $1.5 million that was stolen in the robbery.
