Two men accused of violent muggings were yesterday remanded to prison when they made their first appearance before Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Seon Davis, 33, of 64 Charlotte Street, Georgetown and Leon Vieira, 29, of 26 Hogg Street, Albouystown, were separately arraigned on robbery charges.
Davis faced a single count of larceny from the person following claims that he stole a $150,000 gold chain from Annalisa Ross on April 16, at Croal Street, Georgetown. He was also charged for robbery with aggravation after he, together with person(s) unknown, allegedly robbed Roopchand Maraj of his $300,000 gold chain.
To both charges he pleaded not guilty and asked the Magistrate for “an early trial date since I know I didn’t do anything.”
Vieira, on a similar charge, pleaded not guilty when he was accused of robbing Mortimer Lucas on Wellington Street, Georgetown – making off with his $60,000 wristwatch on April 17.
The Prosecution was conducted by Corporal Deniro Jones who did not reveal the details of the crimes but offered several objections to bail.
Jones claimed that the serious nature, prevalence and gravity of the offence as well as the fact that Davis has other matters in a different court of a similar nature was sufficient grounds for him to be denied his pre-trial liberty.
The Prosecutor offered similar objections to Vieira being granted bail.
Jones, in Vieira’s case, added that he had offered the police with a different address from that he had provide the Magistrate with. The Prosecutor explained that he had told police ranks that he resided on Russell Street.
He added that the wristwatch was not recovered.
Davis and Vieira were remanded and are expected to return to court for statements on May 8 and May 9, respectively.
