Twenty-three-year-old Dellon Henry of Houston, Greater Georgetown, is expected to appear before Justice Sandil Kissoon at the High Court today in relation to the alleged shooting death of Dexter Griffith at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, on September 29, 2015.Dellon Henry, called “Nasty Man”Reports were that Griffith on the day in question, at about 19:30h, was sitting on a chair at Genip Street, Ruimveldt, when the accused walked towards him and fired several shots in his direction, mortally injuring him.It was also reported back then that after being shot, the now deceased man managed to stand up and walked a short distance away in an attempt to escape from Henry but eventually fell unconscious to the ground, while his assailant escaped.Public spirited persons near the scene of the crime had taken Griffith to a city hospital where he was later pronounced dead on arrival. Henry has always denied he murdered Griffith. In fact, he had noted that on the day in question and at the time of the shooting, he was at home with his mother and was nowhere near the scene of the crime. Henry was committed to stand trial two years ago.
No confidence resolution…despite Business Minister’s, private sector adverse effect declarationThe Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) has claimed that the political climate in Guyana has had little effect on investments coming to Guyana.GO-Invest CEO Owen VerweyThis is according to the agency’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Owen Verwey, who told a press conference on Monday that the investment climate in Guyana remained the same.“It has not [had an impact]. If you realised your recent political development was 21st December. So, that would have been too late to affect anything that we would have been doing,” he stated.When pressed to state whether it has had an impact on businesses here, Verwey said it would be difficult to assess that, noting that GO-Invest has not had any negative feedback.“In fact, I think the Guyana environment for oil and gas is so robust that everyone for whatever reason would want to be here,” the CEO told the media.However, Business Minister Dominic Gaskin has admitted to <
1 Asmir Begovic Stoke manager Mark Hughes has dismissed any reports linking goalkeeper Asmir Begovic with a move away from the Britannia Stadium.The Potters’ stopper is regarded as one of the finest in his position in the Premier League and, with his contract expiring in 2016, is attracting interest from some of Europe’s elite.Some reports this week suggested Real Madrid had already opened talks over a possible move for the Bosnian goalkeeper, but Hughes has debased any authenticity behind the rumours.“There will be a lot of stories bandied about, but I would take that one with a pinch of salt to be perfectly honest. I don’t think it’s true,” said the 51-year-old.“We are scheduled to have talks with Asmir’s people in the next few weeks I think.Begovic has kept seven clean sheets this season and has played a key part in a highly impressive campaign at the Britannia, and Hughes is very keen to tie the 27-year-old down to a new deal.He said: “I think both parties have stated that probably at the end of the season those talks will come to a conclusion, and we are very hopeful Asmir will stay here.“There will be speculation around better players at football clubs, and we are no different. He has attracted attention because he is an outstanding goalkeeper.”Hughes also enlightened news on a potential incoming transfer to the Britannia this summer, with Barcelona B winger Moha El Ouriachi set to follow the example set by Marc Muniesa and Bojan Krkic before him.“There is a hope that we will be able to conclude that deal. He is one we think we can bring to the club, so we will try to pursue that one and it looks very hopeful,” added Hughes.“He is predominantly left-footed, has good ability one on one and has good pace. He ticks a lot of the boxes in terms of what we are looking for in young players.”
“So, yeah, that’s tricky. It’s not boring, thankfully.” Stars turning out to support writers The writers strike is getting pretty depressing now that we are finding out that many of our favorite shows will have shortened seasons, and some, like “24,” won’t have a season at all. Big stars are showing support in growing numbers: America Ferrera,Vanessa Williams Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Ray Romano and his former “Everybody Loves Raymond” leading lady, Patricia Heaton, all marched in L.A. on Thursday. “I won’t cross the picket line,” Romano told The Hollywood Reporter. “I was in the writers room every day for nine years (on `Raymond’). … Without the writers, (co-star) Brad (Garrett) and I would have been sitting on the couch looking at our feet for 22 minutes.” The Rev. Jesse Jackson walked the picket line arm in arm with WGA West President Patric Verrone. In New York, the famous faces walking the picket lines included Robin Williams, David Duchovny, Tim Robbins, Julianne Moore, “SNL” star Seth Myers, and “Law and Order: SVU” stars Chris Meloni and Richard Belzer. Surprise: J.Lo makes pregnancy official Jennifer Lopez is pregnant! Officially! Sheesh! I thought she was gonna wait until the kid was in kindergarten before she confirmed she was with child. C’mon, we know the sexy star wouldn’t have made all those public appearances recently looking big as a parade float if she wasn’t preggers. J.Lo addressed the crowd at a Miami concert with her hubby, Marc Anthony, saying, “Marc and I are expecting.” Well, glad it’s official so we can say … CONGRATULATIONS!

Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! It takes one heck of an actor to be able to portray a serial killer on television each week and still have the audience rooting for him not to get caught. But that’s what Michael C. Hall manages to do each week on the Showtime series “Dexter,” a Sunday night show that I found out last night will be returning for a third season next year. Michael took on the role after the end of his five-year run on HBO’s acclaimed “Six Feet Under,” in which he played David Fisher, a gay man dealing with his partner and running a funeral home with his brother. “`Six Feet Under’ ended and I thought, `Well, that’s it for TV.’ I’d been spoiled rotten and lightning doesn’t strike twice,” he said. “The last thing I thought I’d do was another television series. I feel like I left David behind by nature of the way `Six Feet Under’ ended where we all got to simulate our own deaths.” AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREStriving toward a more perfect me: Doug McIntyre When we talked last night, he was a bit jet-lagged after flying in from a film set in Australia for an Academy of Television Arts and Sciences event, where most of the cast of “Dexter” gathered for a screening of an upcoming episode and a discussion. I didn’t mention to Michael what I was thinking: How ironic to be interviewing him at the Academy headquarters in North Hollywood, given that he was overlooked for a much-deserved Emmy nomination this year. Not only should he have been nominated, but he should have won. Sorry, James Spader! So I wondered if it’s been tougher to play Dexter this season now that the show has moved beyond establishing his character. He continues to juggle his dual roles as serial killer and forensics specialist for police in Miami as his personal issues continue to aggressively percolate inside. “It’s all been a challenge and one that I’ve welcomed as an actor,” Michael said. “I think some of the twists and turns that the character has taken this season have presented new challenges for me because as he experiences himself in more what could be called human ways, it’s my responsibility to honor the fact that he does remain, fundamentally, sociopathic, or compelled to kill. 
James DeGale has vacated his European super-middleweight title.DeGale, who has also held the British title, won the WBC Silver belt with a recent points victory over Fulgencio Zuniga of Colombia.He is expected to fight again early in the new year and hopes to challenge for a world title by the end of 2013.“It has been an real honour to be EBU champion and it’s a shame that I have had to choose between the two championship belts I hold,” said the Harlesden man.“However, I feel my decision to relinquish the European belt is the right decision at this stage in my career.“I’ve won it and defended it twice and I feel the best course of action is to defend my WBC belt en-route to a world title.“The WBC belt will give me a wider choice of world-class opponents.”See also:DeGale boxes his way to points victoryJames DeGale talks about his recent win and future plansGroves and DeGale in new war of wordsGroves to fight for title at Wembley ArenaDeGale set for March title defenceDeGale to defend title against Farias’This will be my year’ declares DeGale ahead of Farias fightGroves warned ahead of title showdownGroves set to fight for European title DeGale to make title defence next 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 Follow West London Sport on TwitterFind us on Facebook

After the ban on mechanised and motorised fishing was lifted on June 15, traditional fishermen of Rushikulya rookery on Odisha coast have alleged that their fish catch has reduced drastically.The fall in fish catch has become a major worry for these fishermen of Ganjam district coast.During the ban period, around 12,000 fishermen, living between Prayagi and Sunapur, used their traditional boats to catch fish. “Usually fishermen wait for the ban to end to get a good catch. But this year, for some reason the fish seem to have gone far away from the coast deep into the sea,” said Buguru Rajendra of Podampeta village.In the past, fishermen used to travel about 8 km into the sea to get a good catch. “But this year, we have to travel more than 12 km, which is increasing the cost of fishing. And the catch is also not good,” said P. Simadri, president of the Ganjam district’s Traditional Fish Workers’ Union. As going deep into the sea is not viable for traditional motorised boats, around 40% of fishermen of Rushikulya rookery and its adjoining areas are not venturing into the sea, he added.No prized catchFishermen are also complaining that they are not getting high-value fish like tuna or bhekti, which is hurting their income. Earlier, they used to earn around ₹12,000 in each trip. But this year, it is almost 50% of the expected catch.
AdvertisementWBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has agreed to terms to fight IBF, IBO, WBA, and WBO champion Anthony Joshua in a highly anticipated and exceedingly rare heavyweight unification bout, to be held in the United Kingdom, according to a report from ESPN’s Dan Rafael:“We have agreed to the terms that [Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn] has put out to us for a fight in the U.K. Deontay has accepted his terms to fight in the U.K.,” [Wilder co-manager Shelly Finkel] said. “Deontay sent an email to Joshua [Sunday] night, and I sent one [Monday] to Barry Hearn and Eddie telling them that we officially accept the offer to fight under the terms they gave us and to send us the contract.”Wilder’s manager Shelley Finkel separately indicated to World Boxing News on Monday night that October is an option as well as September, which would go some way to quell one of Hearn’s concerns about a September date clashing with Canelo Alvarez’s return from a drugs suspension.🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 for all you @anthonyfjoshua fans… The $50M offer for him to fight me next in the US is still available. Today I even agreed to their offer to fight Joshua next in the UK. If he prefers the fight in the UK, the ball is in their court. It’s up to them to choose. pic.twitter.com/03PE8sk5x0— Deontay Wilder (@BronzeBomber) June 11, 2018Finkel claimed Wilder had agreed to a rematch clause.Advertisement
