Forty three-year-old, Richard Bourne, of Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, Berbice, was yesterday arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, charged with robbery under-arms.
It is alleged that on November 9, at Georgetown, while being armed with a knife, he robbed Looknarine Shaw of a gold and diamond hand band, a silver chain and $47,000 cash.
Bourne pleaded not guilty to the charge in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and was remanded to prison until December 14.
According to the prosecution, on the day in question, the complainant was about to enter his motor car, when he was confronted by the defendant. Bourne allegedly held the man at knifepoint and demanded that he hand over the articles mentioned in the charge. Shaw, being fearful for his life, complied and Bourne made good his escape with the items.
The incident was subsequently reported to the police and investigations led to the arrest and institution of the charge against the defendant.
The prosecution revealed that the defendant is known to the police, since he was charged before for simple larceny.
