Corentyne woman charged with obstructing justice
A woman who is well known to the authorities for her nefarious living and close association with
Samantha Bhagwandin
criminals is now behind bars.
Samantha Bhagwandin, called “Coolie Girl”, 20, of Tain, Corentyne, Berbice has been charged with attempting to obstruct the course of justice.
The woman appeared on Wednesday at the Reliance Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Mauricia Mittelholzer, and was remanded to jail.
According to Prosecutor, Sergeant Orin Joseph, the woman who is the reputed wife of notorious criminal, Daniel McLennon, had first given the police information about some of the man’s notorious activity including his involvement in the Rose Hall Town robbery/murder of 21-year old Hare Krishna devotee, Chaitanya Kishundyal, who was attacked and shot on February 4, allegedly by four men as they tried to rob him.
Their actions were subsequently captured on CCTV. She then reneged on the story. She was also caught in a car at No. 2 Village with Mc Lennon as she tried to escort him out of the area and to safety knowing that he is wanted by the police.
The woman, a mother of two, is no stranger to the law having been involved in a number of misdemeanors including theft of a motor car.
She was remanded to jail until May 16, when she will have to return to the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court.
