Tony Marks, the 42-year-old man accused of murdering a nine-year-old girl at Parika, East Bank Essequibo back in 2007 was freed after the case against him was discharged at the Vreed-en-Hoop Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Basmattie Seecharran
Marks, called ‘Nutman’ a Blue Berry Hill, Linden resident was charged with murdering Basmattie Seecharran called Indy. Her body was discovered on a Parika beach on January 16, 2007.
According to reports the girl was last seen by her mother on January 15 that year and was discovered the next day among a pile of logs on the beach. She was lying face down and one side of her face was swollen while blood oozed out of her nose and ear. She was clothed only in pants. A post-mortem examination revealed that she died from manual strangulation compounded with blunt trauma to the head. She was also sexually assaulted.
The case was heard before Magistrate Fazil Azeez at the Vreed-en-Hoop Magistrate’s Court. The magistrate said that a prima facie case was not made out against Marks and discharged the case. He said that there was no evidence that linked Marks to the death of Seecharran.
Did Guyana obtained a DNA lab as yet? They need to do, so that they can assist in solving cases like these sooner than later or by guessing. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE, that combination is wrong and bad so set an example for our future generation please. This little baby is gone and is forgotten by the justice system but not by her family, she left this world too early and in a terrible way, who ever did that to her is a heartless-scumbag and will die a horrible death.
Nutman may have gotton off from mankind but if you are guilty of this crime my friend prepare to pay for it on judgementday…
why did it took so long for them to find out this guy is innocent to kill an innocent girl. the police has fail here and they should be fired or be fired at. peace to an angel. crime does no pay. mr administrator you should give explanation for not showing a blog. peace
My simple question,is,on what evidence was this man charged,by the police,for murdering this child?.Any advice from the Police Legal Adviser,and the D.P.P.The accused was in custody,for over two years.Further investigations,should be continued.
Baloney.Something is missing here and justice is not done.This is another cold case file that should be opened.Those investigating this case should be removed from the investigation, and a new detective assigned to reopen this case.
God forbid that man that kill that innocent little girl, he will crawl before he dies. God bless her. she might reborn before his eyes as his own child.
