– with aggravation
COLIN Harry of Lot 17 Back Road, West Ruimveldt, Georgetown was on Monday remanded to prison on a robbery-with-aggravation charge. Before Magistrate Allan Wilson, the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge that, on February 25, he robbed Arif Rafeek of a wallet valued $10,000 and cash in the amount of $15,000; and, at the time of the robbery, he used personal violence on the said virtual complainant.
Police Corporal, Jairam Luckhai, prosecuting, objected to bail on ground of the prevalence and seriousness of the offence. He said that, were the defendant to be granted pre-trial liberty, it was likely he would not return to court for trial.
Luckhai also informed the court that the defendant had a previous matter of a similar nature before another court.
The case will be called again on March 15.
