Jeweler granted bail for gold fraud

Oct 22, 2009 News

A man known to be a jeweler at the Sunflower Jewelry was granted bail yesterday after he allegedly attempted to fraudulently convert a woman’s gold to his own use.
Parmanand Ramdihol, 37, of 92 West Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, was granted $50,000 bail yesterday after he appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson to answer the charge of fraudulent conversion.
It is alleged that on October 13 at West Ruimveldt the accused was entrusted with two gold bands valued at $21,000 and one pair gold earrings worth $14,000, property of Odacia Braithwaite. Ramdihol fraudulently converted them to his own use.
According to Braithwaite a man whom she knew merely from passing by her house took her to Sunflower to clean her jewelry.
She handed over the items to Ramdihol and left. When she returned Ramdihol claimed that he never collected any such items from her.
However Ramdihol who pleaded not guilty to the matter told the court that Braithwaite visited the jewelry along with a guy and it was the man who handed over the jewelry to him since she had a baby in her arms.
Ramdihol claims that he told the man the price for cleaning the jewelry was $1000 and the man laughed and left along with Braithwaite.
“The man come back 15 minutes later and collected the items claiming that the woman was arguing and he left. About 15 minutes after he left the shop she came and told me not to give anyone her jewels and I then explained to her what had happened”.
He is expected to return to court on October 27.
