Guyana judge refuses recusal bid in Haresh Singh murder trial

High Court Judge Priscilla Chandra-Hanif rejected the DPP's application to recuse herself from the Haresh Singh murder trial, a ruling that keeps the case on its current track. The prosecution sought recusal over her August 24, 2026 severance ruling, but the judge found no basis for a fair-minded observer to doubt her impartiality. This procedural decision preserves judicial continuity in a high-profile murder case, though the underlying trial remains pending.
