Darwin Harding, 26, was yesterday denied his pre-trial liberty when he made his court appearance before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton.
It is alleged that, on November 5, he robbed Yvonne Ryan of one gold chain valued at $90,000. He was not required to plead to the indictable offence.
It is also alleged that, on November 5, he allegedly had in his possession a .32 revolver without having a license. He pleaded not guilty.
According to the prosecution, Ryan is a Trinidadian citizen who would be leaving the country on November 28.
The prosecution, therefore, asked for a speedy trial. Harding was remanded, and is expected to make his next court appearance on November 11.
