Teen remanded with murder of female guard in cemetery

Georgetown: A teenager was remanded to prison after he was charged with the murder of security guard Margaret Dawson, whose battered body was found in Le Repentir Cemetery recently.

Dead: Margaret Dawson

The teenager who cannot be named for legal reasons appeared before Magistrate Dylon Bess at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

He was not required to plead to the indictable offence and was remanded until June 25.

Another 17-year-old who was arrested in connection with Mrs. Dawson’s murder has been released.

Police have also released the taxi driver whose car was found in the cemetery on the same day that Dawson’s body was found.

Meanwhile, investigators are questioning another youth, known as ‘Lil Grumbs’, who has been implicated in the elderly guard’s murder – the young suspect shot in the leg during a confrontation with police on Thursday.
