East Canje robbery suspect remanded after courtroom outburst

AUBREY Brandt appeared before Magistrate Marissa Mittelholzer at the New Amsterdam Court where police had filed charges of attempted murder and robbery.

However, due the defendant’s  offensive and threatening  outburst in the courtroom, even though he was warned to desist, Brandt was remanded to prison until  Friday,August 21,2015.
Brandt, who is the suspect in the East Canje businesswoman shooting, ranted: “All of you gon face the judgement. I want to see the person who identify me at the scene. I will shoot them for real…..
“You  all frame-charge me. As for [policeman’s name], I gon deal with him.’’
“Stop it! Stop It!” exclaimed  the magistrate.
However, Brandt ranted on.
“Ok. I would not tolerate this kind of behaviour in  this courtroom. Take him away”
Later, after he was escorted from the holding cell,  Brandt was informed that he was remanded.
This time he quietly exited the courtroom.
Police alleged that he, in company with others armed with dangerous weapons, to wit,  guns, robbed  Rafeena Angela Hussain of two gold rings, $50,000 and US$100, on Monday, July 6,2015 at Palmyra Village, East Canje.
On that  evening, five masked, armed bandits invaded the grocery parlour at Brahaspat  Street, Palmyra Village, Corentyne,  leaving an eight-year-old boy traumatised  and his mother hospitalised in the Intensive Care Unit of the New Amsterdam Hospital, after being reportedly shot in the head.
Hussain, has since been discharged.
