A second suspect was remanded to prison on Thursday for the murder of Roy Ross, who was found dead at his Swan Village residence in April.
The accused, Adolph Joseph, a 28-year-old mason of Lot 1 Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, appeared before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Diamond Magistrate’s Court.
He was not allowed to plead to the charge and the matter was adjourned until July 20, 2021 for report.
Joseph, also known as ‘Black Boy,’ who was wanted for questioning about the murder of Ross, was arrested in Mahdia on Sunday.
Ross, 24, of Swan Village, Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke-Linden Highway, is believed to have been killed at his home sometime between 11pm on Easter Sunday and 6am on Easter Monday. Nothing was reported missing from the home.
Another man, 23-year-old Ewert Calistro, who police say confessed to the crime, has already been charged with the murder.
