After stolen money theft…
THE two brothers accused of supplying false information to Police, in connection with the murder and robbery of Dweive Kant Ramdass, made their second Court appearance yesterday.

Jermaine James, 24, of 80 Amelia’s Ward and Colin James, of 23 Richmond Hill, also in Linden, were before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson, who allowed them to remain on $50,000 bail each, pending a November 5 trial.

The siblings previously pleaded not guilty to the joint charge in front of Magistrate Priya Beharry.

It is alleged that, on August 24, at Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Eve Leary, Georgetown, they gave false information to Police Inspector Reid, a public officer, intending to cause him to conduct an investigation which he would not have done if he had known the true state of the facts.

Police Inspector Denise Griffith, prosecuting, informed that the defendants are the brothers of Gordon James who is charged with two other policeman in connection with the same matter.

She said during the investigation into the theft of $4.3M, of the money stolen from Ramdass, Jermaine and Colin James lied when they claimed that the latter drove PLL 9051, which is owned by Gordon James, to Leonora Police Station, West Coast Demerara, on August 20.

The Prosecutor said that motor car was suspected to have transported the stolen cash.

Gordon James, 28, of Lot 80 Amelia’s Ward, Leyland Fraser, 24, of Lot 1602 Kaburi Street, Ituni and Kevon Denny, 29, of Lot 50 ‘B’ Station Street, Kitty, in the city, as well, are jointly charged with larceny by public officer.

Particulars of the offence, to which they pleaded not guilty, said, on August 20, being employed with the GPF, they took into their possession $5.8M and stole $4.3M of the sum.

That case will be called again at Vreed-en-Hoop Court, West Coast Demerara, too, on Monday, until when they remain in prison.
