Deported drug trafficker Ghalee Khan still hospitalised, to be charged with murder

Ghalee Khan, the deported drug trafficker who shot and killed his partner Marissa Beete before turning the gun on himself remains hospitalised but is expected to be charged with murder.

The News Room was reliably informed that Police have received legal advice to charge Khan with murder. The charge will be instituted against Khan once he is discharged from the hospital.

Khan is accused of murdering Beete, an employee of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, on the evening of April 8.

Reports indicate that the incident occurred after Khan visited Beete’s Recht-door-Zee, Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara home. The couple had shared a two-year relationship but wasn’t on speaking terms at the time.

Marissa Beete opened the door for her ex Ghalee Khan to ‘talk.’ Then he killed her

When Khan showed up at the house, Beete’s mother reportedly told her not to open the door. However, she eventually did and the mother left the couple to talk.

Shortly after, an explosion was heard. Beete was found lying on the ground. She was bleeding.

Khan then fired a second shot at Bette before he went behind a door in the house and shot himself to his head.

Khan is known to law enforcement officials. He was deported from the US in 2024 after completing a prison sentence for drug trafficking.
