Lennox Wayne, also known as ‘Two Colours’, and taxi driver Elroy Doris appeared before Magistrate Zamilla Ally at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court where the verdict was handed down after a 14 month preliminary inquiry.

Stabroek News had reported that Harriram and her cousin were heading east along the Lusignan Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara on July 10 when a burgundy-coloured car passed and stopped ahead of them. Harriram, it was said, was hurrying home to tend to a client’s hair when a man exited the car and grabbed her $15,000 cellphone before shooting her in the head. The shooting occurred around 11:15 am, a short distance from her home. The shooter subsequently escaped in the car he had exited.
