Yogeendra Sukhdeo, 24, of Lot 1896 20th Avenue, Great Diamond, East Bank Demerara, appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus yesterday on a charge of murder during the course of a robbery.
His defence counsel, former magistrate and attorney-at-law Gordon Gilhuys, told the court that his client had been assaulted by police and that they had also confiscated his car. He also said that he had requested that his client be given medical attention, but that had never happened.
Gilhuys added that his client’s car is being held by the police and requested that the man’s mother be allowed to retrieve it.
