The Guyana Court of Appeal on Monday upheld the convictions of Rafael Morrison and Joshua Persaud for the 2013 murder of Marlon Andrew Ramcharran, who was fatally chopped at Tain, in Berbice.
The appeal was heard by acting Chancellor Yonette Cummings-Edwards and Justices of Appeal Rishi Persaud and Dawn Gregory.
The prosecution’s case was that Ramcharran was at a bar in the village with two friends, Nicholas Beharry and Rakesh Jaikarran. They left the bar at 2.30 am and Ramcharran went ahead of them. They then heard him shouting, “You chopping the wrong person” and they ran towards him. They allegedly saw when the men continued to chop Ramcharran, who collapsed to the ground.
