A 47-year-old male resident, of Barr Street, Kitty, was yesterday remanded to prison, for allegedly having carnal knowledge of a four-year-old. According to Police Prosecutor Sherwin Matthews, on the day in question the accused took the child to the back of the yard, took off her clothing and placed the child on top of him.
The Prosecutor said that someone saw what took place and immediately summoned the police.
When Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle asked the accused whether he had anything to say, he told the court that he works as a labourer in Prashad Nagar. He further noted that he works all through the week and would return on the weekend. The man insisted that he did know what the prosecution was talking about. Bail was refused. The matter is slated to continue on September 22.
Meanwhile, also appearing before the said magistrate were Ramroop Randnauth, of Pigeon Island, and Charwin Profitt, of Yarrowkabra. The men are accused of uttering forged documents. It is alleged that the duo presented two invoices, knowing that they were false, to Latoya Williams, with intent to obtain diesel valued at $5.4M, from Sol Guyana Inc. They both pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Police Prosecutor Sherwin Matthews said that on the day in question, the two had knowledge that the invoices were fraudulent; nevertheless, they presented the documents to Williams.
Bail was denied and the matter is to reconvene on October 16.
And in another court matter yesterday, a 17-year-old from Sophia was charged with robbery under arms.
It is alleged that the accused, on September 7, stole from Melissa Azore one gold chain valued at $25,000. The teen pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Azore told the court that she was standing opposite the East La Penitence Police Station when the young man and others walked up to her. One of the individuals grabbed her chain. The young lady said she managed to hold on to one of the men, but he eventually escaped.
Azore then related that she was walking in the vicinity of the Brickdam Police Station when she recognised the accused as one of the men who had robbed her. She raised an alarm and the teen was subsequently apprehended and taken into custody.
After hearing what the virtual complainant had to say, the accused told the court that he works with a police officer, and did not commit the offence.
He, however, was refused bail, and the matter is to be recalled September 22.
The Acting Chief Magistrate told him that he needs to bring his parents on the next court appearance.
