One of the survivors of the 2018 deadly piracy attack yesterday took the stand at the High Court in Berbice where he testified to being chopped by pirates after which he was tied to an anchor and thrown overboard.
While positively identifying one of the accused to be one of the attackers, the survivor recalled that the pirates immediately after invading their boats repeatedly said that “them come to kill.”
Nakool Manohar, also known as ‘Fyah,’ 40, of Lot 1 Number 43 Village, Corentyne, and Premnauth Persaud, 44, also known as ‘Sinbad,’ were jointly charged with the murder of Tilaknauth Mohabir, also known as ‘Kai’ or ‘Kaiman,’ and Mahesh Sarjoo.
