A couple who allegedly forged a will to access property left behind by the woman’s dead father, was yesterday asked to post bail to the tune of $300,000 each, after they were both slapped with three charges of forging a will and uttering falsely to persons.
Eighteen- year-old Afeena Hussain and her 19-year-old husband, Ruaz Manjoor, of Lot 45 North East Grove Village, East Bank Demerara, appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine- Beharry who read the charges of forging a will, purported to be from Afzal Hussain and uttering false information to Mohamed Ali and Cyntina Bharrat.
The police alleged that between September 3 and September 31, the couple went to persons at the Maraj Building where they presented the false will and uttered false information about the document in favour of themselves.
According to the police, the virtual complaint, Nazmena Mohamed, was the reputed wife of now deceased Afzal Hussain. In the union, they bore three children including the female defendant in the matter.
Mohamed had claimed that before her husband passed he had taken her to his attorney where he drew up his final will and testimony in her presence. She claimed that after continued abuse, the union between her and the deceased ended.
After Hussain’s death, Mohamed claimed that her lawyer proceeded to the Deeds Registry to file the original will Hussain left behind, but when the lawyer went to the registry, he was informed that Afeena, Mohamed’s daughter, had already lodged a will at the Probate section of the Deeds Registry purporting to be the last testimony and will of her father.
On learning that her daughter had falsely claimed for the property at Lot 64 Belmonte, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara, Mohamed said she made a report to the police.
The couple was later arrested and charged for the offence.
The duo will reappear in court on February 7.
