COLIN Peters, 19, of Lot 134 Victoria Street, Albouystown, Georgetown appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman yesterday, facing two charges of robbery under arms to which he pleaded not guilty. Particulars of one offence said that, on Sunday April 7, at East La Penitence, also in the city, being armed with a gun, he robbed Andre Brusche of a gold chain worth $100,000.
The other allegation against Peters is that, on the same day, also in East La Penitence, he robbed Tyrone Wong at gunpoint of seven gold chains valued $1,200,000 and four gold and silver bands with a value of $160,000 making a total loss of $1,360,000.
Police Corporal Jomo Nichols, prosecuting, successfully objected to bail for Peters, based on the quantum of loss and the type of weapon used.
Attorney-at-law Mr. Paul Fung-a-Fat, for the Defence, had argued that the virtual complainant Brusche could not have identified his robber on a Police line-up and will not be giving evidence in the case but Peters was remanded to prison until April 30, and summonses were issued for both robbery victims who did not attend Court.
