Abdul Budhoo, 27 years old of 711 Industrial Area, Mackenzie, Linden, was remanded to prison on Tuesday by Magistrate Ann McLennan when he appeared in the Christianburg Magistrate’s Court on two counts of murder. The charges were laid indictably and Budhoo was not required to plead. He is to return to court on 7th November, 2012 for report.
A festering dispute over the non-payment of money for work done allegedly resulted in Budhoo aka Brother fatally stabbing his two cousins: Imran Bacchus aka Taffo and Sheed Bacchus, both 26 years old of 211 Wismar Street, Mackenzie Linden on Sunday morning.
