A Barama resident was yesterday charged with the death of a man, whose body was found in a shallow grave at Karrau Backdam, Mazaruni, on Easter Monday.

Dellon Daniels

Dellon Daniels was read the murder charge by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown. It stated that between April 7 and April 17, at 3 Miles, Karrau Backdam, he murdered Seon Mentore, called ‘Fine Time’ and ‘Cuniad Kevin.’

Daniels, 20, was not required to plead to the indictable charge.

The prosecutor stated that the case file was incomplete.

Chief Magistrate McLennan remanded Daniels and adjourned the matter until May 19, when it will be heard at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court.

The partially-decomposed body of Mentore was discovered by a resident, who was flying a kite in the area and the police were immediately summoned.
