A man accused of clubbing a 38-year-old man to death on a tomb in Le Repentir cemetery almost two months ago was remanded to prison yesterday by Magistrate Maxwell Edwards.

Rondell Bacchus was not required to plead to the indictable charge of murder. It is alleged that on May 10 Bacchus murdered Brian Goliah.

Stabroek News understands that Goliah who was said to have been destitute was found in the cemetery with wounds about his body. A blood-stained piece of wood with nails embedded was beside him.

The deceased who hails from Curtis Street, Albouystown, had his hands raised as if he were trying to fend off someone. According to reports reaching this newspaper, Bacchus is an inmate of the Camp Street prison with matters pending in the magistrate's court.

The matter continues in Court Five on July 21.
