A 28-year-old fisherman has been remanded to prison for allegedly driving his car into a crowd twice, killing 22-year-old market vendor Dulisha Bhiro, also known as Manisha, and injuring another man.

Charles Junior Angel, of Number 54 Village, Corentyne, appeared before Magistrate Michelle Matthias at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court on Friday, November 13. He was not required to plead to the murder charge.

The incident occurred outside the Dragon Night Club at Nigg Village, Corentyne, around 2 a.m. on November 8.

Police allege that following an altercation during which Angel was disarmed of a cutlass, he entered a black Toyota Fielder wagon and drove into the group, striking Bhiro.

He allegedly drove approximately 200 metres away before turning around and striking the group again, injuring Bhiro and 28-year-old Aaron Seegobin.

Both were taken to the Port Mourant Public Hospital, where Bhiro was pronounced dead on arrival.

Police Prosecutor Collin Clarke told the court that the case file remains incomplete, with the post-mortem report outstanding. The prosecutor also raised the matter of CCTV footage as investigations continue and requested that the case be transferred to the Albion Magistrate’s Court.

Angel was remanded to prison until December 8.
