ROBIN DeFlorimonte, the woman snatched from a Diamond, East Bank Demerara house by four men after they had shot at her, ordered her to get dressed and join them in a car, has decided to drop charges against thm.
This was confirmed by police sources, which have also confirmed that based on reports the attempted kidnapping of the woman was drug-related.
The police are now seeking from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) advice on the way forward in this matter.
Meanwhile, one of the men, taxi driver Samuel Adams of Lot 9, Dennis Street, Sophia, has been charged for possession of the 9mm firearm which the police found in the car and has been remanded to prison.
The other three men, whose names have been provided to this publication, are in the business of lumber, selling clothes and house-keeping, and will have their freedom to enjoy as they await the decision of the DPP.
The police were forced last week to corner and arrest the men after someone had reported that the woman had been abducted. A police patrol in Georgetown had intercepted the vehicle and the woman confirmed that she had indeed been abducted. A search of the vehicle revealed that the occupants did have a firearm concealed, and at that time the woman did admit that she was being abducted by the men, and begged the police to take her into their custody.
The men were reportedly working on behalf of a one-time popular night club owner who no longer hosts parties or other activities, since those had been associated with persons in the underworld which had scared patrons off.
One police source said the woman appears to be fearful for her life, hence her decision to drop charges against the men. The woman was abducted because she had been accused of causing a shipment of drugs destined for the United Kingdom to go sour, and the night club owner had accordingly sent for her with the intention of having her pay for the loss. She had reportedly been hiding from the man in the Diamond area for some time prior to her kidnap.
Police investigations continue.
