LESS than three weeks after Scot Rambaran's body was found in his car in Centeno, a mechanic from St Helena and Arouca has been charged for his murder.

Justin Baird, 23, was charged on July 27 by PC Benaldo, of the Homicide Bureau of Investigations Region II, after instructions from Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard, SC.

Rambaran, from Oropune Gardens, Piarco, was reported missing on July 8 and was found murdered two days later, on July 10. Rambaran had left work and went home to collect $25,000, which he and his wife had withdrawn from the bank on July 7 after taking a loan to buy a car.
