Notorious bandit Tameshwar Khemraj, called ‘Rambo’, was yesterday jailed for four years by Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh when he appeared before him at the Albion Magistrate’s Court on a charge of robbery under arms committed on Tagama Madramootoo, October 10, 2012, at Nigg, Corentyne, Berbice.
The 27-year-old was considered one of the most notorious bandits in Berbice.
The charge against the Nigg resident had stated that while being in the company of others and armed with dangerous weapons, to wit, guns and cutlasses, he robbed the woman of a significant amount of gold and jewellery, as well as a significant amount of cash.
His alleged accomplices were freed of the charge. The woman had testified that during the ordeal she had pulled the mask off the bandit and recognized him to be ‘Rambo’.
Khemraj, who was wanted for a number of matters including the Rose Hall Town $10M robbery, was nabbed on Tuesday 29th April when he turned up at the Albion Magistrate’s Court for the impending matter. At the time he was captured in the precincts of the Police Station and Magistrate’s Court, he had six grams of cannabis in his pocket.
Another charge against him was that on Saturday 19th April at Nigg Settlement he used threatening language against Odessa Narine. It was stated that the woman was at her home washing her motor car when the accused threatened her on more than one occasion. He first drove up in a motor car and used a series of expletives towards her before returning on a motor cycle. He told her she couldn’t live there and threatened to burn down her house. He boasted of taking away $10M and also pulled a black object from his waist. The woman became afraid for her and her family members’ lives and reported the matter to the police station. He was not arrested since he was on the run.
Khemraj was also charged for the $10M robbery that was committed on Corentyne Businessman Ramlingum Mangalie around 07:15 hrs on Wednesday April 9th at Rose Hall Town, Corentyne.
On the day in question, Mangalie was in his minivan, PPP 1632, when two unmasked armed bandits on a motor cycle, minus the registration number, had held up and robbed the man of the cash that he was about to deposit into the Republic Bank Rose Hall Branch.
Ramlingum, along with his brother Subramanie Mangalie and father Mangalie Permaul, owns and operates Permaul’s Snackette, Trading and Distribution store at Albion Road, Corentyne.
The men discharged rounds before grabbing a bag containing $7M which belonged to Subramanie, and another bag containing $3M which belonged to Ramlingum, before fleeing the scene on the motor cycle.
‘Rambo’ was also wanted for questioning in the robbery/rape committed at Maida Farm, Corentyne, Berbice on 12th April last. During that ordeal, three armed masked bandits with a shot gun, cutlass and knife entered the home of a hire car driver and robbed him, his wife and two other guests of cash, cell phones, gold jewellery, a large amount of cash, and $700 US. The man’s wife was allegedly also raped during the rampage.
Rambo was also among four bandits, including the now dead Deodat ‘Pop Corn’ Seecharan, who had on Saturday 2nd June 2011 at Cumberland, East Canje, while armed with an AK 47, cutlasses and knives, robbed a couple of over $1M in cash and jewellery. They were subsequently tracked down and held at a house at Edinburgh, East Bank Berbice.
