Two men were yesterday remanded to prison after being charged with the murder of the Sophia man who was reportedly beaten during a robbery attempt.
The charge which was read to Courtney Wolfe and Curt Mingo at the Diamond Magistrate’s Court stated that on February 11th, 2020, they murdered Daniel Jermaine Forde. The men were not required to plead to the indictable charge.
As a result both men were remanded to prison until February 25 when they will make a second appearance at the courts.
According to previous reports, the police had said that 22-year-old Forde of 759 ‘B’ Field, Sophia, Georgetown succumbed to injuries he suffered as a result of being beaten after allegedly attempting to rob a female.
Initial investigations revealed that a 36-year-old shopkeeper was operating her business when Forde who was armed with a cutlass entered and demanded money.
The woman raised an alarm and he began to chop at her grill and damaged a flat-screen television. Subsequently persons arrived and he was disarmed and apprehended. Forde was said to have suffered injuries before being handed over to the police who escorted him to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre for medical treatment.
