The DVD vendor who was allegedly involved in the murder of the taxi driver from outside the Georgetown Public Hospital was remanded to prison yesterday when he appeared before Magis-trate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Louis Lancaster
Thirty-five-year-old Louis Lancaster of Fifth Street, Alberttown was not required to plead to the indictable charge of murder.
It is alleged that on October 26, on Bent Street between Hardina and Haley streets, Lancaster and a male accomplice murdered ex-police officer Vibert Assanah of 40 Ptolemy Street, Melanie Damishana, by stabbing him in the shoulder with a knife that punctured a major artery.
Vibert Assanah
Lancaster said that he had given the police information about who the accomplice was including his name, address and on several occasions while being in police custody he pointed out a few of the accomplice’s family members but “nobody ain’t doing anything with de information I giving them.”

If found guilty, he should pay with his life for killing a hard working family man.

justice for these innocent victims and thier families and friends who are left to mourn in grief forever !!! while these horrible criminals who think they are above the law are allowed to continue their crime spree without any value for human life. The citizens of guyana are in desperate need of making said individuals prime examples by decreasing the crime rate, thus possibly installing the death penalty again !! These individuals should not be allowed to life after comitting such horrific crimes. In the memory of my very loving,caring, giving and unselfished uncle vibert .
