Double-murder accused Ralph Ramdhan, also called Vernon Rampersad, 50, of Mc Bean Village, Couva, appeared before Chaguanas Senior Magistrate Joanne O’Connor on Monday after he was deported from Guyana.
Ramdhan was deported on May 30 and was handed over to Sgt Randy Ramjag of the Homicide Bureau by Interpol officer Sgt Herman Narace.
He was arrested in Guyana on May 13 for being in the country illegally and ordered to pay $30,000 Guyanese or serve 14 days imprisonment. After serving the two-week sentence Ramdhan was deported to T&T.
Ramdhan appeared in court charged with the murders of Jankie Bachu and Savitri Sultan and for assaulting Babita Praimsook on August 2 last year at their Celestine Drive, Thompson Street, Palmiste, home.
Sultan, 39, and Bachu, 48, were stabbed to death one week after Sultan took out a restraining order against Ramdhan. Praimsook survived the knife attack with slashes to her ear and fingers, which she sustained as she tried to fight off the killer.
Ramdhan will re-appear in court on Friday.
