Almost one week after 23-year-old Werford Vincent Trim and 36-year-old Tyrone Captain were stabbed to death during a brawl along Water Street, Georgetown, a sales representative was on Wednesday slapped with two counts of manslaughter.

Angelo Answick from Industry, East Coast Demerara (ECD), appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, where the charges were read to him.

Police stated that he unlawfully killed Captain, a labourer of Eversham, Corentyne, Berbice, and Trim, also known as “Junior Browne”, a vendor of Durban Backlands, Georgetown, on August 7 along Water Street, Georgetown.
