Berbice: A confrontation among prisoners at the New Amsterdam penitentiary Wednesday resulted in the death of murder accused Neshan Jagmohan. His brother Ramnarine Jagmohan was also injured in the attack.
Both are said to be standing trial for the death of businessman Devindra Deodat, who was killed on October 7, 2013 at Hampshire Squatting Area, Corentyne.

Deodat was allegedly chopped and riddled with bullets by a gang of masked men after they attempted to rob his grocery store.

Reports indicate that the Jagmohan brothers had just returned from their court hearing and were making their way to their respective living quarters when they were attacked by three other men- two of whom are said to be on remand. The deceased’s brother reportedly sustained over 10 stab wounds and is in a critical condition at the New Amsterdam hospital. Investigations are ongoing.
