Damian Bissoon, a murder accused who turned himself over to the police on Monday after almost four years on the run, was yesterday remanded to prison.
Bissoon, a 33-year-old porter of Lot 44 Shell Road, Kitty, was taken before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer to the charge that he murdered Taj Anthony Jarvis on March 30, 2018, at Barr and Alexander streets, Kitty.
Bissoon was not required to plead to the charge and was remanded to prison until May 17, 2022, where a full disclosure of the matter will be done.
The court heard that on the night in question, the now deceased Jarvis was at Barr and Alexander Streets, Kitty, when Bissoon approached him and asked him for money.
Jarvis replied, “I don’t have no money” and subsequently Bissoon then dealt him several stab wounds and fled.
Jarvis was then picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy later revealed that Jarvis died of stab wounds to his heart.
According to the prosecutor, on Monday Bissoon along with his lawyer turned himself over to the police.
The accused was then arrested, told of the allegation, cautioned and later denied killing the now deceased Jarvis.
