Days after his arrest, Nigel Abraham was on Wednesday remanded to prison for allegedly murdering his foster son, 17-year-old Daniel Wilson, at Black Water, North West District.
Abraham, 30, appeared at the Mabaruma Magistrates’ Court via Zoom to answer to the charge that he murdered Wilson between April 17 and April 18, 2022. He appeared before Magistrate Sunil Scarce.
Abraham was not required to plead to the indictable charge and was remanded to prison until May 18, 2022.
An initial statement from the Guyana Police Force (GPF) said that between the mentioned dates, the teen was stabbed by his foster father. His cousin, Ron Moonsammy, also sustained a stab wound and was said to be critical.
Police said that the stabbing was reported to the Mabaruma Police Station, resulting in ranks being dispatched to the area.
The ranks learnt that Wilson along with Moonsammy and the suspect, were together drinking alcohol when an argument broke out among them, resulting in the suspect stabbing Wilson with a knife. Moonsammy, who then intervened in a bid to save his cousin, came under attack when the suspect reportedly turned on him with the knife, stabbing him in the chest.
Abraham was later nabbed by police ranks, members of the Community Policing Group and residents of Region One days after a wanted bulletin was issued for him.
