Zaheer Hussein, who was accused of killing his former father-in-law, Alexie Gomes, was yesterday committed to stand trial at the High Court.

Attorney Latchmie Rahamat, who is representing the family of the deceased in the proceedings, told Stabroek News that Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday concluded the preliminary inquiry into the charge against Hussein and found that there is a sufficient case for him to answer for the offence and committed him to stand trial at the High Court before a judge and a jury.
