A 24-year-old man from East Coast Demerara pleaded not guilty to seven charges of armed robbery, one of attempted murder, felonious wounding and one assault charge, when he appeared before Magistrate Alex Moore at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Danny Rajkumar, first appeared in court in February and was not required to plead to the indictable charges. The armed robberies and assault charges are now being heard summarily.
The police said that all the matters took place on the East Coast of Demerara. They are alleging that on December 22, at Better Hope, Rajkumar reportedly robbed Rashid Mohammed of $300,000. They said that on that date, during the course of the robbery, the accused attacked and assaulted the victim. Rajkumar pleaded not guilty to the assault charge.
On February 16, 2012 at Vryheid’s Lust, Rajkumar allegedly robbed Marsline Benn of cash and a cell phone valued at $65,000.
On December 23 at Better Hope, the accused robbed Ravindra Persaud of a cell phone and cash totaling $4,500.
Again on February 16, at Vryheid’s Lust, Rajkumar reportedly robbed Dennis Lewis of a cell phone valued $8,000. On February 23 at Vryheids Lust, the accused robbed Ian Adams of a motor car valued at $1.2 million.
Last year on June 24, at Ogle, the accused robbed Safizz Allicock of a motor car valued at $1.3 million.  On February 23 at Better Hope the accused robbed Naratee of one cell phone and cash, totaling $80,000.
In these matters the charges stated that all the victims except Allicock had been robbed with a fire arm.
Rajkumar then heard that on February 23, last, he reportedly attempted to murder La Shawna Beckles. He was not required to plead. Rajkumar finally heard that on February 23 he maliciously wounded Annisa Sanders. Again he did not have to plead.
Originally the accused was charged with attempting to murder Sanders but that charge was withdrawn by order of the DPP leaving Rajkumar to now answer the felonious wounding charge.
Two of the victims were present in court. All parties will return to court on June 29 for statements.
