… court remembers accused under different name
One of the suspects who allegedly robbed Pastor Kenrick Corbin and his wife, Faith Corbin, of several pieces of gold jewellery on Wednesday last was yesterday remanded to jail yesterday after making an appearance before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Nineteen-year-old Lawrence Allicock, of 21 Independence Boulevard, Albouystown was not required to plead to the indictable charge of armed robbery. When he appeared before her, Magistrate Hamilton informed the prosecution that the accused was known to her but that he had appeared using another name, Leonard Allicock.
The defendant however insisted that his correct name was Lawrence. Allicock was however slapped with two charges. It is alleged that on May 9 at Howes Street, Charlestown, while armed with a gun, he robbed Faith Corbin of four gold rings valued at $620,000.
Allicock was also told that on the same day at the said location, he robbed Kenrick Corbin of one gold chain and pendant, one gold band and a gold and diamond ring totaling $M1.9 million.
Prosecutor Tracymay Gittens objected to bail because of the prevalence and seriousness of the offence. The court upheld the prosecutor’s application and Allicock was remanded to jail. He was also ordered to produce his birth certificate when he appears in Court Three before Magistrate Judy Latchman on Wednesday.
Three bandits had stormed the Faith Miracle Ministries located on Howes Street and robbed the pastor and his wife minutes after they concluded their Wednesday evening service. The pastor said he was standing on the pulpit with his wife not too far away when the men went into the church.
One pointed a gun to his head and another pointed one to his chest and ordered that he hand over his jewellery.
The pastor said he willingly gave his belongings to the bandits who then made good their escape.
