Alfred De Jonge was today charged and granted bail in the sum of $1 million for allegedly killing 22-year-old Stacy Walton.
De Jonge made his court appearance at the Reliance Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Michelle Mathias.
He will have to return to court on July 1 and the matter has been transferred to the New Amsterdam Magistrates’ Court.
The man was slapped with the charge following advice submitted by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
It was initially reported that the mother of one of Alexander Street, New Amsterdam, Berbice, died in a car crash at Number 7 Village, East Bank Berbice on Friday last.
Her body was pulled from a motorcar, which was partially submerged in a canal.
The motorcar is owned by De Jonge, who was reportedly at the scene of that incident.
However, an autopsy performed by government pathologist Dr. Vivekananda Bridgmohand gave the cause of death as asphyxia and drowning.
