REGAN Rodrigues called ‘Grey boy’ was on Wednesday sentenced to three months’ imprisonment for using threatening language against the mother of dead political activist Courtney Crum-Ewing.

After less than two months of trial, Rodrigues was found guilty of the offence by City Magistrate Dylon Bess who ruled that the words used against the victim, Donna Harcourt on Saturday 12, August at Regent and Wellington Streets were of a threatening nature.
Rodrigues who was unrepresented, told the court that the woman and her family had been making his life miserable since he was freed of the murder of her son.
The 40-year-old further added that since his release from the murder charge, he has been working as a taxi driver to make an honest dollar.
Rodrigues further stressed that the magistrate’s ruling was unfair, but he would comply with the sentencing.

In June, Rodrigues was freed for a second time by the court in connection with the murder of Crum-Ewing. Magistrate Judy Latchman had ruled that there was insufficient evidence against Rodrigues to stand trial in the High Court for the capital offence.
In September 2016, Rodrigues was freed of the murder charge by Magistrate Latchman, due to a lack of evidence. The office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) decided to re-open the case for further evidence from police witnesses and for the magistrate to rule on the oral statements made by Rodrigues.
The bullet-riddled body of Crum-Ewing was found at Third Avenue, Diamond New Scheme, EBD, just days before the May 11, 2015 elections. He was shot twice to the temple, once to the back of the head and twice to the stomach.

The police in a statement had stated that the political activist was accosted by four men in a car, one of whom discharged several rounds, hitting him about the body. It was reported that the killer (s) used a .32 pistol to execute Crum-Ewing. The political activist was well known for his one-man protests outside the office of former Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall. Minutes before he was gunned down, he was reportedly heard via bullhorn urging residents of the neighbourhood to vote against the then ruling PPP/C party.
