A 76-year-old cook was charged and remanded to prison in relation to the brutal murder of six-year-old Zi Feng Cao at Parika, East Bank Essequibo.
Quan Sheng Li appeared before Magistrate Omadatt Chandan at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court.
He was not required to plead to the capital offence and was remanded to prison.
The case was adjourned to November 5.
Quan was arrested shortly after the Zi was murdered at his Parika, EBE home, where his parents operated a Chinese restaurant. He confessed to brutally murdering the young boy following a money dispute with the boy’s parents.
Sheng Li reportedly went to the parents’ Parika restaurant on Wednesday, October 1, to collect money he claims he was owed.
However, he became violent and chopped the little boy who had only just returned home from school. In fact, the News Room understands that the little boy had only just hugged the man, greeting him after he came home from school, before he was chopped. Sheng
Li reportedly took police to the location where he said he had discarded the weapon. A search was conducted, and the weapon was recovered.
