Two men were this morning charged with murdering 13-year-old Daveanand Sanichar after a row over a woman at a wedding house at Triumph, East Coast Demerara.
Raymond Wong, 27, and Kevin Sahoye, 20, of Agriculture Road, Mon Repos, were not required to plead to the charge that they committed the murder on 14th August, at Plantation Walk, Triumph.
The police’s case against Wong and Sahoye is that they ended up in an argument with Sanichar after he danced behind one of their aunt’s at the wedding house, late on Sunday night.
It is alleged that Sanichar subsequently went home for a cutlass and returned and the argument continued. Sahoye allegedly dealt the child a blow to the head with a wood. The boy was subsequently taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police had previously said that Sanichar had been chopped to the head with a cutlass during the altercation and was then beaten with a stick while he was on the ground.
The men were remanded to prison until September 13th, when the matter will be called again.
