A Plaisance, East Coast Demerara youth who is currently before the Courts on illegal gun possession and narco trafficking charges, has been charged and remanded to jail for the murder of former Chief Education Officer, Olato Sam.
The youth, Joshua Archer was not required to enter a plea to the indictable murder charge when he appeard in Court earlier today before Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool at the Sparendaam Court.
The Police said Archer was arrested on the 5th August, two days after the educator was shot dead at a Plaisance Line Top hangout bar.
Sam was reportedly at the bar with a group of friends when a fight broke out at another bar close by and gunshots were heard. The longtime educator was seen slumping to the ground with a bullet wound to his chest. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
The 22-year-old now facing charges over his death is expected back in Court on the 26th September for the continuation of the murder case.
Olato Sam will be laid to rest later this week.
