Three men who were on trial before Justice Jo Ann Barlow and a jury at the High Court in Berbice for a murder committed on a Crabwood Creek man in 2015 were yesterday found guilty.
Dennis Veerasammy, Basheer Harrinauth and Delroy Fraser were on trial for the murder of Shameer Ally also known as ‘Kazak’ committed on October 24th, 2015.
The three men will return to court on June 2, for sentencing.
Ally, 36, a labourer of Grant 1805 Weld Tank Dam, Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, was found dead by police who went to his house to arrest him after a report was made against him.
He had sustained a single gunshot wound and was lying in a pool of blood a few feet away from his door.
Stabroek News had reported that residents of the community had suggested that Ally’s murder may have stemmed from old grievances he had with an individual in the area.
Investigations had revealed that Ally had misunderstandings with several persons that night including the husband of a woman with whom he shared an intimate relationship.
The state was represented by attorney at law, Sita Bishundial.
At the beginning of the trial, the state prosecutor had told the jury that the state’s case included that the deceased and the accused were well known to each other since they had a work relationship at some point.
There was an incident between Fraser and Ally where Veerasammy who was present threatened to kill Ally after which he was later found dead.
