Second man remanded over Coast Guard officer’s murder

Randy Claymond Wright, one of the men who was accused of robbing and murdering Coast Guard Lieutenant Rondel Douglas, was remanded to prison on Monday.

Wright appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel-Isaaca Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

When the Magistrate asked him for a response to the charges, he said: “I don’t wish to waste the court time so I would just like to enter a guilty plea even though I didn’t kill nobody; I never know they was going to kill nobody I just dropped them off.”

It was alleged that Wright, 37, on 7th June, 2023, at Cul-de-Sac Street, North Ruimveldt, Georgetown murdered GDF Captain Douglas. He was not required to enter a plea to the capital offence of murder.

The defendant was remanded to prison and he is expected to make his next court appearance on 14th July, 2023.

Joshua Parris, the prime suspect in the case, was last Thursday remanded to prison after he was charged with the crime.
