Labourer remanded for attempted murder of NA vendor

A 34-year-old labourer was on Monday remanded to prison after being charged with the attempted murder of a New Amsterdam vendor, who was allegedly struck with a glass bottle and chopped to the head during an attack in August.

Ravindra Samaroo, of Ogleton Dam, Angoys Avenue, New Amsterdam, Berbice, appeared before Magistrate Matthias at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court, where the charge was read to him.

He was not required to plead and was remanded to prison until November 27, when the matter is scheduled to be called for a report.
