‘Rasta Beans’ to be charged over Puruni murder

Police have obtained legal advice to charge murder suspect Deion Evans, also known as ‘Rasta Beans, with the murder of Xavier Boyal, who was fatally shot on November 11 at Puruni Landing.

Police commander for the interior locations, Kevin Adonis, told Stabroek News that investigators have received advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to charge Evans. He said the file was completed and sent to the DPP during the course of the week. Evans is expected to appear in the Bartica Magistrate’s Court today.

A month after hiding from law enforcement, Evans was arrested at a camp on the Cuyuni River on Saturday. He was wanted by the police for the murder of 24-year-old Boyal, who was shot in the wee hours of November 11.
