Forty-four-year-old Michael O’lando Corrica, of Lot 02 Fourth Avenue, Bartica, Essequibo River, who was recently deported from France, was remanded to prison after he appeared yesterday before Magistrate Esther Sam to answer to the capital offence that was read to him.
It is alleged that in February of 2007, Corrica murdered gold miner, Oswald Joris called ‘Buns’, of First Avenue, Bartica.
According to reports the two were known to each other. Corrica reportedly operated a shop in the Arimu area where Joris worked as a gold miner. An argument erupted amongst the two men and Joris was brutally chopped to death.
The accused was not required to enter a plea and was remanded to prison until July 25.
