Skeete and Gobin are accused of murdering Ryan Clementson on July 14, 2015.

At the conclusion of the preliminary inquiry into the charge yesterday, Magistrate Fabayo Azore announced that a prima facie case was made out against both men and committed them to stand trial at the next practicable sitting of the Demerara Assizes.

At the last hearing, Magistrate Azore had announced that there was sufficient evidence against both men but did not commit them due to a request by attorney Mark Waldron, who represents Gobin, to review the main evidence as it related to his client.

Clementson and a friend, Ayodella Solomon, were shot in the vicinity of the Turning Point Snackette in Tucville. Clementson, who had been shot in his thigh, succumbed almost two weeks later from a cardiac arrest after undergoing surgery.
