St Lucian on $50,000 bail for overstaying time in Guyana

ST LUCIAN national, Lloyd Roberts Maloni yesterday appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, charged with overstaying his permitted time in Guyana.

Represented by attorney-at-law, Mr. Peter Hugh, Maloni pleaded not guilty to the charge when particulars were read to him. His attorney made application for reasonable bail, informing the court that his client is a father of a minor child.

Police Prosecutor, Michael Grant opposed bail on the ground that his client is a flight risk, since he is a St. Lucia national.

Maloni was nevertheless granted up to 10am yesterday to post $50,000 bail, and the matter was transferred before Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond for January 7.
