FORTY-one-year-old Odingo Greene, who was freed twice, previously on two murder charges, was, on Thursday, committed to stand trial at the High Court for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl.

Greene called ‘Dingo’ of Station Street, Kitty, was committed by Senior Magistrate Leron Daly, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

The businessman is on trial for allegedly engaging in sexual penetration of a child under the age of 16 years, between November 1 and November 30, 2016, at Georgetown. The matter was dealt with in camera.

According to reports, on the day in question, the teen was alone at home, when Greene forced himself into the home and raped the girl.
Greene will go on trial at the next practical sitting of the Demerara Assizes before a judge and jury.

In 2012, the High Court freed Greene of the murder of 28-year-old Nazalene Mohamed, due to insufficient evidence.

He was also convicted of the murder of Sandra Harvey on April 26, 2004, and was sentenced to death by Justice Dawn Gregory-Barnes. However, a retrial was ordered by the Guyana Court of Appeal and this was done before Justice Jaynarayan Singh who upheld a no- case submission and discharged the conviction on May 12, 2005.
