HGP NIGHTL NEWS- Assuming the investigation into the questionable circumstances surrounding the death of 11-year-old Adriana Younge is over, lawyers for Double Day Hotel owner Bhojnarine Bhola have turned to the High Court to challenge what they describe as an unlawful travel restriction imposed on him by the Guyana Police Force.

In court filings submitted on December 5, Bhola’s attorneys argue that the continued ban preventing him from leaving Guyana has no legal basis, particularly since police have publicly stated there was no evidence of foul play in the child’s death.

The application names Police Commissioner Clifton Hicken and Attorney General Anil Nandlall, S.C. as respondents and seeks court orders to immediately remove any stop-order, watchlist entry, or other restriction affecting their client.

The legal challenge outlines Bhola’s detention in April, after Adriana Younge was reported missing and later discovered dead in the hotel’s swimming pool at Tuschen, Essequibo Coast.

Although he was held for several days and initially booked on a murder allegation, Bhola was never charged. Investigators later released statements indicating the death was consistent with drowning, though the final results of a second autopsy are not yet publicly known.

Despite those official pronouncements, Bhola’s lawyers say he was released only on the condition that he remain within the jurisdiction an order that has continued months after investigators announced their findings.

The application contends that the restriction is arbitrary, unconstitutional, and amounts to punishment without charge, especially given that Bhola cooperated fully with investigators, including submitting DNA samples.

The filing also details the fallout from the incident, including the burning of Bhola’s hotel, home and vehicles, leaving him displaced.

It further notes that he has been unable to travel to Canada to see his terminally ill father, despite repeated written requests to authorities seeking confirmation on whether the restriction has been lifted.

The National Data Management Authority (NDMA), together with the Guyana Police Force (GPF), today confirmed that new speed cameras and radar speed signs will be activated on the Bharrat Jagdeo Demerara River Bridge beginning this weekend (December 13, 2025). This initiative builds on the broader rollout of the automated speed-ticketing initiative launched earlier this year under the Safe Road Intelligent System (SRIS).

The radar-enabled cameras will detect and record speeding violations in real time, with the speed signs being used as a calming measure to bring speed awareness to drivers. Once a vehicle exceeds the posted speed limit, the SRIS system will automatically generate a ticket. Drivers whose contact information is registered with the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) will receive their notice via SMS or email; otherwise, physical tickets will be delivered to the owner’s address.

To check for any issued tickets, motorists are encouraged to use the GPF’s official “Find My Ticket” at https://speed.gpf.gov.gy

This digital option is part of the Government’s push for transparency and efficiency, making compliance easier.

The addition of the new Harbour Bridge to SRIS coverage reflects the Government’s commitment to leveraging data-driven technology for public safety. Drivers are urged to abide by posted speed limits, pay attention to radar signs, and support the collective effort to make Guyana’s roads and infrastructure safer and more efficient.

The man who was caught on video mercilessly beating a woman has been arrested.
He has been identified as 30-year-old Nigel Errol, also known as “Nigel” or “One Order,” a construction worker.

Sources have confirmed that he is currently being processed for court. The brutal assault occurred around 1:00 a.m. Wednesday at Pike Street, Sophia, after the couple had reportedly been drinking.

Witnesses say an argument erupted when the woman did not leave after being told to go home. What followed was a brutal attack captured on camera,
Errol repeatedly slapping, punching and stomping the woman to the ground.

At one point in the video, Errol is heard taunting the woman and daring the consequences, declaring:
“I want go to jail, call your gun man family.”

Persons familiar with the pair say this is not the first time the woman has endured such violence, claiming she has been beaten “mercilessly” by Errol on previous occasions.

Additional reports suggest that during this confrontation, the woman threw a brick at his vehicle, triggering the violent escalation.

The victim reportedly sought medical attention later in the morning.

A seismic legal development has just shaken the high-profile Mohamed extradition battle.

Magistrate Judy Latchman has ruled that the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court will proceed with the extradition hearing for gold magnates Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed, dealing a major blow to the defense’s attempt to halt the process.

In a strongly reasoned decision, Magistrate Latchman cited multiple precedent cases and declared that the matter will remain squarely before the Magistracy, clearing the way for the extradition proceedings to advance.

The Mohamed legal team had argued that no extradition should proceed until the High Court rules on the constitutionality of the 2009 amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Act.

But the prosecution dismissed that position as premature, speculative and legally hollow, urging the court to affirm the validity of the amendments and prevent further delays.

Today’s ruling means that the father and son duo wanted by the United States on wire fraud, mail fraud, and money-laundering charges tied to their gold-trading empire and Azruddin Mohamed’s controversial Lamborghini purchase will now face an active extradition hearing at the Magistrates’ Court.

The defense has already signaled its intention to appeal Magistrate Latchman’s decision, setting the stage for an intense legal showdown.

The extradition proceedings are scheduled to now commence on January 6th, 2026.
