Arjune Mohabir, 22, of Kilcoy Squatting Area, Corentyne was this morning charged for killing 22-year-old John Alexander Yap, also of Kilcoy Village on September 15.
Mohabir appeared before Magistrate Peter Hugh at the New Amsterdam Magistrate Court and was not required to plead.
He was granted bail in the sum of $250,000.

Mohabir reportedly pulled the knife away from Yap, and inflected the fatal wound.
The dead man’s wife, Mineisha Chandralall called ‘Anjali’ recalled that two weeks prior to the incident, the suspect and her husband had an argument over the suspect’s girlfriend.
