JAMAL Delph, who is well known to the court, appeared before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly for armed robbery committed on a nurse aide.

Delph, 25, of Stevedore Housing Scheme, Georgetown, appeared before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Particulars of the charge alleged that Delph, on June 19, 2022, at Meadow Brook, Georgetown, while being in the company of another and armed with a knife, robbed Delise Blades of a handbag and other items, together valued $42,000.

Police Prosecutor, Christopher Morris, strongly objected to bail being granted, since the accused was before the same court for armed robbery with violence and was currently out on bail for that offence.

Magistrate Daly upheld the prosecutor’s objection and remanded Delph to prison until July 22.

According to the prosecution’s facts, on the day in question, about 06:55 hours, Blades, who is a nurse aide, was walking along Meadow Brook Drive, on her way home when she was approached by two men on a motorcycle.

The men allegedly held her at knifepoint and relieved her of her handbag before riding away.

The matter was reported to the police station and investigators retrieved the footage of the robbery from a nearby CCTV surveillance camera.

Delph was later arrested by police.

During an identification parade, the victim reportedly identified Delph as the rider of the motorcycle.

It is alleged that, while under caution, he admitted to the crime and later took the officer to a location where two of the stolen articles were handed over.
