MV Barima Crew Charged with 72 Murders | Guyana News
Description
Captain and two crew members of the MV Barima ferry face 72 murder charges after the vessel capsized in July 2026, killing over 70 and leaving dozens missing. Charged at Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, they’ve been remanded in custody. The Director of Public Prosecutions defended the move, citing strong evidence and legal precedent. A presidential Commission of Inquiry is concurrently investigating vessel management, safety, and procedures. Both legal processes will proceed simultaneously, as precedent allows, with the case now in Charity Magistrates’ Court for a hearing on August 3, 2026.
