Quartet walks free from robbery charges

Jun 05, 2012 News

 

Four men previously charged with three counts of robbery under arms and one count of possession of ammunition were freed on Wednesday by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at the Reliance Magistrate’s Court, East Canje.
Raymond Fraser, 19, of Reliance, Canje and Zakeer Mohamed were represented by Attorney- at- Law, Charrandass Persaud, while Deon Fraser, 22; and Michael Fraser, 25, of Adelphi Canje were represented by Michael Baird. Detective Roberto Figueria prosecuted the case.
It was alleged that on June 8, 2008, they robbed Paul Budhu, an overseas- based resident of US$810 and a wedding band worth $40,000. They were also accused of robbing Anawattie Devi Singh of jewelry valued $112,000 and her husband, Ganesh Premchand of a chain worth $20,000 and $40,000 in cash.
Caution statements were thrown out for all of the defendants; hence the police case was dented. The claim was that the robbers were masked so the witnesses for prosecution could not identify any one.
As for the ammunition charges, those were previously dismissed.
A no- case submission after the prosecution closed its case was upheld on Wednesday.
When the Magistrate read the verdict, there were shouts of relief and joy from the Fraser brothers, “Four years, since 2008! Thank God!” Mohamed was very quiet.
