Persaud will have to return to court on May 9 when the matter will be transferred to the Reliance Magistrate’s Court.
The accused had turned himself over to police earlier this week while accompanied by his lawyer, Attorney at Law Mursaline Bacchus.
Persaud is alleged to have shot his wife, Bibi Deen, dead on Tuesday March 20 at their Canefield, East Canje, Berbice home.
Deen, who operated a shop at the home, was found with bullet wounds to the head and chest.
The couple’s teenage son had allegedly heard his mother’s cries at around 23:00hrs but found the bedroom locked when he tried to go to her assistance.
Two months ago, Persaud was placed on one-year bond after he had been charged for assaulting his wife.
