A solider was among three men who appeared in court yesterday charged with murdering a businessman from Aranguez earlier this month.
Yasin Rasheed-Gill, a soldier in the T&T Regiment, his 22-year-old cousin Kendell Gill and Augustus Patrick, 23, all of Chaguanas, appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Maria Busby-Earle-Caddle in the Port-of-Spain Magistrate's Court yesterday afternoon charged with killing Saisnarine Ningwah on November 12.
The trio were also charged with possession of a firearm and ammunition. They were not called upon to plead to the charges and were remanded into custody. They ordered to reappear in court in January.
Ningwah, 43, was at his Nanan Street West, Aranguez, home when a group of armed intruders invaded and robbed him of a quantity of cash. Ningwah reportedly struggled with one of the intruders and was shot twice. He died on the scene.
The trio was charged by PC Noel Wren of the Region One Homicide Bureau.
