Marcus Bisram freed after judge finds DPP’s committal order was unlawful

Marcus Bisram outside of the Camp Street Prison yesterday after being freed.

Marcus Bisram was yesterday freed for the second time since his extradition to Guyana after the High Court on Monday ruled that the order by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to reopen the preliminary inquiry (PI) into the murder charge levelled against him was unlawful.

The charge against Bisram alleged that between October 31, 2016 and November 1, 2016, at Number 70 Village, Corentyne, he counselled, procured and commanded Harri Paul Parsram, Radesh Motie, Niran Yacoob, Diodath Datt and Orlando Dickie to murder Faiyaz Narinedatt.

Bisram was extradited to Guyana from the United States in November last year.  He was returned after a US appeals court ordered that he be extradited after denying both a rehearing of his appeal arguments and a motion to stay the extradition.
