Brothers remanded on marijuana charge

Aug 29, 2012 News

Michael Budhu and Bonny Budhu, brothers, have been refused bail for possession of a significant quantity of marijuana.
Both accused pleaded not guilty to the charge which was read to them by Magistrate Hazel Octive Hamilton.
It is alleged that on August 26, at Pineapple Street, East Ruimveldt, the brothers had 305 grams of cannabis in their possession which was intended to be used for trafficking.
Their lawyer, Paul Fung-A-Fat did not make a bail application and stated that there is no special reason that can be given to the court for his clients to be granted their pre-trial liberty.
The lawyer, however, asked for the magistrate to grant an early date for the trial to commence.
The brothers will have to return to court on October 3rd.
Reports are that on Sunday last, police who were on mobile patrol in the vicinity of East Ruimveldt, stopped the car that both men were in. A search was conducted and the suspected marijuana was found in a cardboard box in the back seat of the car.
Further investigation ascertained that the substance was indeed cannabis and both accused were arrested and charged with the offence.
