Teen in court for Tyrico murder

The teenager hails from Paramin. His coaccused are, Shane Seetahal, 31, of Santa Cruz, Alfonso Bossierre, 25, of Tyrico and Jevon Ding Chong, 21, from Maraval. The teen will also be facing additional charges of attempted robbery with violence against Lewis’ common law husband, Jonathan Garcia.

According to reports, at about 10 pm on last week Monday, the four men forced their way into a wooden shack on Tyrico Bay, where Lewis and Garcia lived, and attacked the couple.

Both were chopped several times. Lewis died at the scene, while Garcia was taken to the Port of Spain General Hospital, where he was treated for his wounds.

The four men were caught trying to escape the scene, and were later charged by PC Denver Callender of Homicide Region 2, after advice was received from the Director of Public Prosecutions, Roger Gaspard, SC, on Tuesday.

Their cases have been adjourned to September 12.
