The murder case involving the crew of the sunken MV Barima has been adjourned, with the three accused remaining in custody. Captain Kevin Price, Chief Mate Rondell Roberts, and Goods Superintendent Delon Granderson appeared virtually before Magistrate Ravindra Mohabir at the Charity Magistrate’s Court.
Prosecutors have confirmed that full disclosure of evidence has been provided to the defense. The defense has been granted until September 14 to review the materials, and formal committal proceedings are scheduled to begin on November 16, 2026.
The MV Barima capsized on July 18, 2026, while traveling from Georgetown to Port Kaituma. The disaster resulted in 73 deaths and 76 survivors, though at least 30 people remain unaccounted for. The vessel remains on the ocean floor, and there has been no official update regarding salvage efforts or the identity of a winning bidder to raise the wreck.
