Keon David appeared before Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday where he was charged with the capital offence of murder.
David was not required to plead to the charge.
It was alleged that on July 29, 2019 at Seeta’s Bar in Station Street, Kitty, Georgetown, he murdered Kurt Duncan.
Back in September of 2023, police issued a wanted bulletin for David in connection with the case.
The prosecutor told the court that on the night in question, David and Duncan, who are known to each other, were at Seeta’s Bar when a male and female who were also at the bar had a misunderstanding. Duncan upon noticing this intervened and this led to David punching him several times in the face. He then drew a small black handgun from his waist and discharged a round at Duncan which struck him in the chest. The man collapsed and David fled the scene.
