Two ex-convicts who were released from prison in April 2019 were today jointly charged with the murder of Patrick Fraser, the young man gunned down in Bagotstown while drinking with friends in an abandoned yard.
Kevin Rose, called ‘Boyo’, 22, of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara and Shamar Moore, called ‘Frankie’, 23, of 108 Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, were not required to plead to the indictable charge which stated that, on May 9, 2019 at Bagotstown while being in the company of others, they murdered Patrick Fraser, called ‘White Boy’, during the course of a robbery.
The men appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Rose told the court he was released from prison on April 1, 2019 after serving four years for having an unlicensed firearm in his possession while Moore told the court he was released from prison on April 3, 2019 after spending nine months for a robbery charge.
Police Prosecutor Shellon Daniels told the court the investigation is still ongoing. Therefore, she asked the court for two weeks to complete the file.
The magistrate, after listening to the facts, remanded both men to prison until June 19, 2019.
According to information, on the day in question, Fraser was shot twice while imbibing with friends in an abandoned yard, known as a “drug yard”, at Bagotstown.
Fraser, of Republic Park, East Bank Demerara, died at the Diamond Hospital. Investigators believed that the young man was executed.
The police recovered a .32 spent shell, one warhead, a pair of slippers, and a white cap at the crime scene.
