The two Guyanese men accused of aiding the Venezuelan suspects charged in connection with the bombing at the Mobil Gas Station on Regent Street, appeared in the Leonora Magistrates’ Court today, along with another Venezuelan national.

The men – 44 year-old Wayne Corriea and 51-year-old Ramesh Pramdeo along with their co-accused 33-year-old Venezuelan national, Jennifer Rodriguez appeared before Magistrate Alisha George at the Leonora Magistrates’ Court.

The three have been jointly charged with terrorism and have been accused of aiding and abetting in relation to the act of terror at the gas station. The two Guyanese men, Wayne Correia and Ramesh Pramdeo were represented by Attorney Bernard DaSilva.

The Prosecution was expected to make disclosures during today’s hearing, however, there was none and the matter has been adjourned to December 17.

The prime suspect, 33-year-old Venezuelan national Daniel Alexander Ramirez Poedemo, along with his co-accused 44-year-old Alexander Bettencourt, 27-year-old Johnny Boodram and 33-year-old Kystal LaCruz are facing a similar terrorism charge in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

The deadly bombing claimed the life of six-year-old Soraya Boure.

The deadly bombing incident shocked the country, forcing the security forces to step up their monitoring of foreign nationals, especially Venezuelans.

A motive for the attack has not been disclosed. But the Police indicated that the Venezuelan suspects appear to be linked to the R Syndicato gang. It is one of the same gangs that has been attacking miners and others in the bordering areas with Venezuela.

The prime suspect, Venezuelan national, Daniel Alexander Ramirez Podeomo, was captured on camera planting two bags with the suspected explosive device near to cooking gas cylinders at the gas station, after he was earlier blocked from placing the bags in a garbage receptacle near the fuel pumps.

The man was arrested two days later in the East Bank Essequibo village of Vergenoegen after the Police were able to circulate photographs of him. At the time of his arrest, the other suspects were already in custody. It is suspected that they assisted the man in surveillance and with transportation to the gas station where he planted the bomb.
