Teen charged with murder

A 19-YEAR-OLD man appeared before a Siparia Magistrate yesterday charged with the murder of  Lalmohan Mansingh, who was stabbed to death, last Saturday. Also appearing in court on separate charges arising out of the incident, were two men who were jointly charged with assaulting a friend of the murder victim. Satish Heeralal, of Loukie Trace, Penal, was not called upon to plea when the Captial charge was read to him by Magistrate Lucina Cardinas-Ragoonanan at the Siparia First Court.

Mansingh, also known as “Ramtool,” of Robinson Trace, Penal, was reportedly sitting in his friend Ricky Sukhu’s car in front a bar at Penal-Quinam Road, Siparia, when he was stabbed. Reynold Gopaul, 18, of Loukie Trace, Penal and Karl Callender, 21, of Charlo Village, Penal, appeared before Magistrate Cardinas-Ragoonanan charged with assaulting 44-year-old Sukhu. The trio were denied bail by the magistrate.
