A 22-year-old cabbage farmer was yesterday charged with the murder of 18-year-old David Toney, who he is accused of fatally stabbing during an altercation over payment at the Timehri docks for loading produce onto a truck last week.

The charge, which was read by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in George-town, alleges that on April 19th, at the Timehri Docks, Rickland Bovell murdered David Toney.

Bovell was not required to enter a plea as the charge was indictable.
