CCJ stays Marcus Bisram’s murder committal pending appeal

Marcus Bisram

Marcus Bisram has been granted another reprieve from incarceration following an order from the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) yesterday staying a recent ruling of the Guyana Court of Appeal that he be committed to stand trial for murder.

Given the ruling of the appellate court, Bisram was expected to be placed back into custody.

However, his attorneys, Darshan Ramdhanie QC and Arudranauth Gossai, were yesterday granted leave by the CCJ to appeal that ruling, which the Trinidad-based court of last resort has stayed until Bisram’s appeal is fully heard and determined.
