They were all arrested and charged with seven counts of robbery under arms committed on Daniel Sony, a business man of Lot 275 Bloomfield, Corentyne; Meena Comarie of Lot 7 13th Street Whim, Corentyne Berbice; Samrita Singh, a businesswoman of Lot 329 Bloomfield Village, Corentyne; Somwattie Rajopaul of Alness Village, Corentyne Berbice; Mandakie Chandan, of Lot 7 Public Road Nurney Corentyne Berbice; Patrisha Mohabhir of Lot 14 John’s Port Mourant, Corentyne Berbice and Steven Rafiek, a business man of Lot 329 Bloomfield Village, Corentyne Berbice.
The charge was laid under section 222 (c) of the Criminal Law Offence Act Chapter 8:01. They all pleaded not guilty and Garfield Gray and Samuel Fraser were placed on $500,000 bail on each count while John Simon was placed on $950,000 bail.
The case was postponed to June 27th for report.
The accused men, a month ago, attacked, robbed and brutalized several persons on the Corentyne. They had stolen a quantity of cash and jewellery during the robberies. One of the victims, Somwattie Rajgopaul, had sustained injuries to her face and body during the ordeal. She had stated that the men were armed with guns and cutlasses. That said night they had also pounced on Mandakie Chandan along with other persons from different villages. Police acting on information had arrested the men sometime after.
