‘Satan’ jailed for 5 years in absentia

ORIN Glasgow known as ‘Satan’ was sentenced to five years imprisonment, in absentia, after he was found guilty of an armed robbery charge.

Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan handed down the sentence to an absent Glasgow of Agricola, East Bank Demerara (EBD), at the end of the trial, which was held in the defendant’s absence. The 22-year-old was on bail during the trial but never turned up to court.

The charge against Glasgow stated that on December 30, 2016 at Bagotstown, EBD, while being armed with a gun, robbed Felicia Gilchan of a quantity of items valued $130,000.

In her ruling, the Chief Magistrate stated that the prosecution had presented substantial evidence and she therefore found the accused guilty of the offence.

The matter was prosecuted by Police Inspector, Alwyn Moore.

The magistrate imposed the maximum penalty of five years imprisonment.

According to reports, Gilchan is a businesswoman and operated a store at Bagotstown. On the day in question, an armed Glasgow stormed into the woman’s business place and relieved her of the items.

Glasgow, who is no stranger to the court, is also before another Magistrate charged with three robbery-related matters, which all occurred in the Bagotstown area.
