Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson yesterday remanded to prison a 62-year-old Princes Street, Lodge resident who allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend who died subsequently as a result.
Kubert George while standing in the dock at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court was told that he was not required to plead to the indictable charge of murder.
It is alleged that on November 1, George stabbed Patricia Rose which caused her to endure suffering until her death on May 8.
George who was unrepresented in court told the magistrate that he wanted to plead not guilty to the charge because he did not do what he was accused of.
Prosecutor Dennise Griffith stated that after the incident George threw the knife into a gutter.
The magistrate subsequently ordered that he be remanded to prison and appear back in court on July 3.
Rose, 44, of Vryheid’s Lust, East Coast Demerara, was attacked while she was on duty at the Georgetown School of Nursing, East Street. George had reportedly scaled the fence and stabbed the woman in her stomach, neck, face and right arm before escaping.
