A San Fernando mason was granted $175,000 bail when he appeared before a San Fernando magistrate yesterday, charged with the unlawful killing of Asaf Khan.
Richard Dillon, aka Ricky Jai, 35, appeared before Gloria Jasmath at the Madinah Building yesterday, mere hours after the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, Joan Honore-Paul, gave directions to charge him with manslaughter.
The charge stemmed from an altercation between Dillon and Khan over a financial debt on December 23, 2017, at a bar in Golconda. It was alleged that Dillion slapped Khan in the face. Khan then fell to the ground and injured his head.
Khan, 52, of Diamond Village, was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital where he died on Christmas Day.
