Floyd Rammit was this morning sentenced to 30 years’ imprisonment for the April 15, 2015, murder of Farouk Ghanie, called ‘Brother’, the owner of Hamson’s General Store.
Rammit pleaded guilty to the murder charge before Justice Sandil Kissoon at the High Court in Demerara. He was represented by lawyer Maxwell McKay, while State Counsel Tuanna Hardy, Tiffini Lyken and Nafeeza Baig appeared for the Prosecution.
According to reports, on April 15, 2015, the 56-year-old businessman also known as ‘Brother’, left his home and went to his place of business on Regent Street, Georgetown.
Ghanie returned home around 18:00hrs on the said day. At about 20:00 hrs, Rammit and another man were seen at his home. Sometime later, the men were reportedly seen by eyewitnesses leaving the man’s home in a hurried manner.
The following day, neighbours found Ghanie’s body. There were wounds to his left side chest and cheek. The police were summoned and found that the dead man’s firearm, cell phone and other items were missing.
