Three men appeared before the Bartica Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, to face charges for the murder of Robert “Curry” Noble.
The individuals charged in connection with the homicide, which occurred at Honey Camp Landing in the Middle Mazaruni River on June 9, 2026, are:
Raymond Corroll (also known as “Kunga Joe”), 64, a businessman of Victory Valley, Wismar, Linden.
Tyrone Phillips (also known as “Wormey”), 63, a gold miner of Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara.
Rafeek Shan Austin (also known as “Shan”), 34, a gold miner of Victory Valley, Wismar, Linden.
The trio appeared before Magistrate Teriq Mohamed, where the indictable charge of murder was read to them. In accordance with standard legal procedure for capital offenses, they were not required to enter a plea.
Magistrate Mohamed ordered that all three men be remanded to prison. The matter has been adjourned until July 31, 2026, for further proceedings. The arrests follow an extensive police investigation into the death of Noble at the mining site earlier this month.
