Despite a report by a psychiatrist that said that he was not mentally fit to face trial, Devon Johnson, a 24-year-old labourer, was yesterday remanded to prison after he was charged with the murders of two vagrants last month.
Johnson of Cummings Street, Bourda, was not required to plead to the capital offences when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court One.
The first charge stated that on November 11th, 2019, at Regent Street, Georgetown, Johnson murdered Andrew Benjamin. It is also alleged that on the same date and at the same location, Johnson murdered Raymond Samaroo.
