Irishman charged with threatening to assassinate Guyana’s President

An Irish national who allegedly “fell prey to Guyanese rum”, after consuming a number of alcoholic beverages at the rodeo last weekend, appeared in court yesterday charged with threatening to assassinate the President of Guyana.
Police say that on March 29 last, while at Tabatinga, North Rupununi, Cilian James Crossan used threatening language against the President.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge as he stood before Magistrate Judy Latchman. He was represented by Attorney-at-Law Glenn Hanoman.
The lawyer told the court that his client is just 17 years old – having been born on June 26, 1995, in Ireland.  At this statement, the Magistrate requested a copy of the defendant’s birth certificate which was produced to the court.  The lawyer further claimed his client’s outburst against the President was simply because he was under the influence of alcohol.
“The defendant had been very, very intoxicated after consuming alcohol beverages to which he was not accustomed, and I think fell prey to Guyanese rum,”  Hanoman stated.
