Sep 25, 2008 News

An accountancy student of the Business School has been remanded to prison after he was charged with possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.

The accused, 28-year-old Dwayne Loncke, appeared yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson.

It is alleged that on Tuesday, September 16, at Fifth Street, Alberttown, Loncke had in his possession two kilograms of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. To the charge he pleaded not guilty.

He was represented by Defence Counsel Glenn Hanoman, who told the court that his client has a fixed place of abode at 65 Hadfield Street, Stabroek.

He added that Loncke has been married for the past eight years and has a son. Currently, he said, his client is pursuing studies in Accountancy at the Business School.

Hanoman added that the defence is very eager to begin the trial and requested an early date. Loncke was remanded and is scheduled to make his next court appearance on October 6.
