City men remanded for shooting at woman, son

TWO men were, on Monday, arraigned at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Chief Magistrate Ann Mc Lenann, after they allegedly shot and robbed a woman in West La Penitence, Georgetown.

Both Devon Wills, a 26-year-old resident of 64 West Ruimveldt, and 26 year-old Andre Scott of 18 Punch Trench Road, were accused of firing a loaded gun at Anastacia Rodrigues with the intention of causing actual bodily harm.

It was also alleged that, on March 8, 2019, at the said location, they discharged the firearm at her 13-year-old son. The duo was represented by Attorney-at-Law Adrian Thompson who pleaded for his clients to be granted bail. However, such efforts failed.

According to Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield, on the day in question, the defendants went to the home of Rodrigues, and enquired of the whereabouts of her nephew. After their interrogation, the two men shot at the woman and her son. As a result, the juvenile was injured on his right hand.

Scott was also charged with robbery under arms. It was alleged that, on March 10, 2019, being in the company of another person, he robbed Grace Bishop of seven penny-weight of raw gold valued $90,000 and $50,000 cash. The defendant claimed that he was unaware of any such robbery. Prosecutor Mansfield objected to bail based on the serious nature of the offences and the facts that guns were used in the crime. The Chief Magistrate remanded the perpetrators until April 8, 2019.
