Terrence Pancham, 53, an operator of Three Friends Mines, was on Tuesday charged with manslaughter when he appeared at the Linden Magistrate’s Court via zoom. He was released on $400,000 bail by Magistrate Wanda Fortune after she read the charge to him. It is alleged that on May 29, 2021 he killed his neighbour, Ronald Wong, 32, of Three Friends Mines.

He will make his next appearance on January 21.
