Brothers accused of stealing cows

TWO brothers accused of stealing cows were on Monday released on $125,000 bail each by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry. 

Seon Garraway, 22, of Lot 540 East La Penitence, Georgetown, and 29-year-old Leon Garraway both denied two counts of simple larceny charges.
Particulars of the first charge said that on October 9 at Sophia, Greater Georgetown, they stole two cows valued $500,000, property of Ramkellawan Ramnauth.
The other charge alleged that on the same day at Sophia, they stole a cow valued $180,000, property of Collin George.
Police Prosecutor Michael Grant told the court that on the day in question, Ramkellawan took his cows to graze at Sophia for about 30 minutes and went home in the meantime. On his return, he noticed that two of his cows were missing and subsequently reported the matter to the police.
Grant said that all the cows were branded and two were found at Garraway’s home with one of the throats slashed and the third cow was not recovered.
The duo was represented by attorney-at-law Mr. Paul Fung-a-fat, who requested bail in a reasonable sum.
The prosecutor objected to bail on the ground of the nature and gravity of the offence and the fact all the animals had not been recovered.
The prosecutor did not oppose bail and the case was transferred to the Sparendaam Court for November 7.
