Diamond Housing Scheme resident, Lytllelan Caesar, was yesterday refused bail when he appeared in court charged with two counts of obtaining by false pretence.
The charges were read to him by Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
It was alleged that on May 24, 2007, with intent to defraud, he obtained $1.5M from Vanessa Singh by falsely pretending that he was the owner of a piece of land at 157 Dhanraj Street, Newtown, and that he was in a position to sell. It was also alleged that on May 30, 2007, he obtained $1.5 from John Milling for the same piece of land. Caesar pleaded not guilty to the charges.
He was represented by Attorney-at-Law, Peter Hugh, who made a bail application.
Hugh said Caesar is an electrician by profession and a father of three young children. He added that his client has no prior convictions.
According to the lawyer, Caesar has no knowledge of the matters alleged against him and has never entered an agreement of sale with the two people.
Police Prosecutor, Denise Griffith, said that Caesar used the name Sydney Sampson to enter into the agreement and provided one of the virtual complainants with a copy of the transport.
According to the prosecutor, the virtual complainant made a report to the police last year but only recently saw Caesar.
Vanessa Singh, who was present in court, said that last year she sent her agent to the address and was told that Sydney Sampson is overseas serving a life sentence.
Singh said that apparently Caesar and Sampson served time together and that is how he got the information.
Bail was refused and his next court date was fixed for July 11.
