Magistrate Charlyn Artiga yesterday ruled that there is sufficient evidence to have the two men accused of murdering British teen Dominic Bernard in 2015, to stand trial in the High Court.
Aaron Hing, also known as ‘Neutral’, 25, and Staymon George, also known as ‘Sherwin’ or ‘Stayie’, 26, were charged separately in January 2016 for Bernard’s murder. The killing reportedly occurred at Kildonan, Corentyne, on October 14, 2015 after Bernard, 18, came to Guyana to stay with his god brother, Hing. His family had said he travelled here to pursue his dream of studying film-making. However, following his arrival, there was no word from him.
Following a preliminary inquiry, Magistrate Artiga at the Number 51 Magistrate’s Court yesterday, ruled that a prima facie case had been made out against the men.
