One of the suspects who was nabbed in Berbice last Monday in connection with last week’s fatal Laing Avenue shooting was yesterday remanded to prison after he was charged with the murder.

Oyama Patterson, 23, also called ‘Shemroy’, a security guard of Hardina Street, Wortmanville, Georgetown, made his appearance on Friday before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown.

The charge against him alleges that on November 11, at Laing Avenue, he murdered 53-year-old Dexter McFarlane, of Laing Avenue, West Ruimveldt.
