QUINCY Goodhart, called Ketay or Blackie, along with Kevon Bunyon was each sentenced to four years’ imprisonment, following an earlier plea of guilty to charges of being in possession of a firearm along with matching ammunition.New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, stipulated that the men serve a two-year sentence each, after confessing to having a .38 revolver in their possession without the relevant licences.

A further two-year sentence was handed down on the duo, who pleaded guilty to having ammunition in their possession without being the holder of the relevant licences. Along with the sentence, the men were fined a total of $100,000 each, with an alternative of 100 days’ imprisonment. The sentences will run concurrently.

Detective Sergeant Lawrence Thomas had instituted the charges against the two men, along with Rudolph Mc Curdy, called Ruddy, and Kurt Edwards, following intense investigations into a robbery committed on businessman Danny Sankar.

However, with respect to the robbery under arms allegation, Mc Curdy and Edwards have denied the charge and were ordered to each post $100,000 bail. Police alleged that on March 15, last at Strand Road, the defendants armed with a dangerous weapon – a gun, robbed Nanda Ramkissoon Sankar of $646,340 in cash, a quantity of phone cards valued $90,000 and a gold chain which cost $420,000, totaling $1,146,340.

Subsequently, the quartet had appeared before the court where police had instituted charges for them being in possession of a firearm along with matching ammunition, without the relevant licences.

On that occasion Kevon Bunyan, was the number one defendant, followed by Quincy Goodhart, Rudolph Mc Curdy and Kurt Edwards, respectively. Bunyan and Goodhart had pleaded guilty to the charge with an explanation and were refused bail, while the remaining defendants were sent on $60,000 bail each.

According to Bunyan, aged 32, he lived at Lot 620 Fort Ordinance Housing Scheme, Canje; he took the police to the Number Two home at Lot 52 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, where the police was given the gun, which was dug up from under a stairway. He told the Magistrate too, that Goodhart had given him the gun earlier in the day and that he had it in his possession because Goodhart had asked him for a favour. “I don’t have a job, and Goodhart did not pay me to keep the gun,” he posited.

Meanwhile Goodhart, 23, claimed to have lived at Lot 540 East Ruimveldt, where he would attend the Kingdom Hall at that location. According to him, he went at the back of a ‘place’ and in an unpainted building, he collected the gun.’
