Attorney at law Patrice Henry represented ogle who is a beverage vendor in Albouystown. Henry told the court “my client was in custody since Saturday and was arrested at his residence along with several others on a raid conducted in the area by police”. He added, “my client was at home on the day in question and has his wife as an alibi”.
According to Curtis, who positively identified the accused said, “We were at home when the accused attacked me with a gun. Another one snatched the housekeeper and pushed us in the bedroom and told us that they want the jewelry and money, and them ran away and we raise the alarm.”
The prosecution objected to bail. According to prosecutor Krishnadat Ramana, “An investigation was carried out within the area of the incident; the accused was positively identified and was arrested by the police.”
The magistrate refused to grant bail and the accused is expected to return to court on October 20.
