Buggery accused refused bail

Sep 17, 2008 News

Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle yesterday refused to grant bail to a man who has been charged with buggery.

The accused, 27-year-old Cheddi Seepaul, of First Street, Campbellville, made his appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court. It is alleged that on Saturday, September 13, Seepaul indecently assaulted a 20-year-old female.

It is further alleged that, on the same day, he also buggered the same female. Seepaul pleaded not guilty to both charges. He was represented by defence counsel Adrian Thompson.

Despite Thompson making a bail application on his client’s behalf, bail was refused. Seepaul is expected to make his next court appearance on September 29.

Meanwhile, Magistrate Robertson-Ogle also remanded a Bartica resident charged with indecent assault.

It is alleged that on September 11, at 7th Avenue, Bartica, James Lindor indecently assaulted a minor who is a close relative of his. The accused was not required to plead to the indictable charge. The 44-year-old carpenter was unrepresented.

In his own defence, he told the court that, on the day in question, he was consuming alcohol with some friends.

Lindor added that, later the same day, he went home, had a meal with his family, and retired to bed. He claims he cannot recall what else transpired on that day.

The prosecutor’s request that bail be refused was granted by the court. Lindor is expected to make his next court appearance on October 29 at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court.
