Akeem Lammy yesterday pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Paul Smith, stemming from a February 7, 2024 attack in Georgetown.

Lammy appeared before Justice Priscilla Haniff at the High Court in Demerara, where he entered his guilty plea on the indictment.

The charge alleges that on February 7, 2024, at Irving Street, Georgetown, Lammy unlawfully and maliciously wounded Smith with intent to murder him.

Lammy, 37, of 107 Meadowbrook Gardens, had previously appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, where the charge was brought against him.

Justice Haniff has set September 30, 2026, for sentencing.

Lammy remains in custody pending sentencing.
