The preliminary inquiry in the charge against Marcus Bisram, the alleged mastermind of the murder of a Corentyne carpenter, is now expected to commence next Monday after Magistrate Alex Moore reported sick ahead of the scheduled start at the Springlands Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
After the magistrate reported sick yesterday morning, the matter was called later at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court, where Magistrate Peter Hugh adjourned the proceedings until next Monday. At the time, the state’s prosecutor, Stacy Goodings, was not present in court.
Bisram’s attorney, Sanjeev Datadin, who was present in court, then claimed that there seemed to be delaying tactics by the state as he questioned why the state prosecutor did not show up. However, a police prosecutor was there in her stead.
