Eighteen-year-old Derrick Garraway of Lot 15 River-view Sea dam, George-town, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday before Acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus to answer to the charge of manslaughter that was laid against him.
It is alleged that on 28th June, at Riverview, Georgetown, the defendant killed Dellon Waterman, 34.
The court heard that the defendant and Waterman’s nephew had an altercation. Waterman later intervened which caused the defendant to arm himself with a knife and stab Waterman once in the region of his heart. The defendant then escaped. Waterman was transported to the George-town Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police Prosecutor Quincy Lacon strongly objected to bail based on the seriousness of the offence. CCTV footage depicting the incident and eyewitness statements are in place, he said.
Bail was refused and the defendant was remanded to prison by Acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs- Marcus until 3rd August for statements.
