THIRTY-THREE-YEAR-OLD Nabadaningi Gobin, of 1049 Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt, was found guilty of break and enter and simple larceny on Friday by Magistrate Judy Latchman, following an eight-month trial. Gobin, a former taxi driver, was convicted for breaking into James Samuels’s dwelling house at Relief, East Bank Demerara, on July 4, 2015. The court heard that Gobin broke into the house and carted off a quantity of firearms and ammunition.
It was further stated that Gobin stole one Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, a Glock pistol, 14 9mm rounds, 58 shotgun cartridges and other items, all totalling $17.2 M.
The magistrate in her ruling considered the seriousness of the offence and the need to prohibit others from contemplating such offences. As such, the father of one was sentenced to four years imprisonment for each charge along with a fine of $60,000. The sentences will run concurrently.
Meanwhile, Nabadaningi is currently on trial before City Magistrate Fabayo Azore along with co-accused Edward Skeete also known as “Pretty Boy” for the murder of Ryan Clementson, who was shot at Turning Point, Tucville, between July 14 and 24,2015.
