Marcus Bisram’s mother and relative jailed for offering detective bribe

The mother of flamboyant businessman Marcus Bisram and a female relative were on Friday sentenced to one-year imprisonment by City Magistrate Leron Daly for offering $4M to a police officer to suppress a murder case in 2016.

Sharmilla Inderjali, 49, and her co-accused Maryanna Lionel, 29, who both reside at No. 71 Village, Corentyne, Berbice were found guilty of the indictment. The Police claimed they corruptly offered $4 million to a detective on November 19, 2016, at Eve Leary, to forego charges against Bisram and the men who were eventually committed to stand trial in the high for the murder of Berbice carpenter Faiyaz Narinedatt.

The women were out on a total of $3M during the trial. They were represented by attorney-at-law Sanjeev Datadin.

In November 2016, five men were held for the murder of Berbice carpenter, Faiyaz Narinedatt. Bisram was implicated to be the mastermind behind the crime but has since been freed of the charges.

The men Orlando Dickie, Radesh Motie, Diodath Datt, Harri Paul Parsram and Niran Yacoob. They are currently on remand awaiting trial at the High Court.

On the night of October 31 and November 1, 2016, Narinedatt was beaten and left dead on the road at Number 70 Village, Berbice, a short distance away from Bisram’s home.

Police claimed that the men placed Narinedatt’s lifeless body into the trunk of a car and dumped it on the public road before attempting to run it over to make it appear to be an accident.

Bisram, who had fled to the United States of America, after a lengthy court battle was extradited to Guyana and was charged for Narinedatt murder.

However, on June 1, 2020, he was freed of the charge due to the lack of evidence.
