The man accused of murdering Dwane Williams, the Linden vendor who was recently found dead behind a shack in the mining town, was yesterday charged with the crime.
Larry DaSilva made his appearance before Magistrate Wanda Fortune at the Linden Magistrate’s Court, where the murder charge was read to him.
He was not required to plead to the charge and was remanded to prison until January 11th, 2021.
It was previously reported that Williams, also known as ‘Levi’ and ‘Sweetie Man,’ 54, of Wismar, Linden, was found dead by residents with gaping wounds to his throat and his wrist.
The police had said Williams is believed to have been murdered by a person or persons unknown sometime between the night of November 26th and 5.45 am on November 27th, when he was found with the wounds. A knife, suspected to be the murder weapon, was also found near the site where the man’s body was found.
A post-mortem examination conducted last week found the cause of Williams’ death to be multiple incised wounds.
