Sep 01, 2012 News

A 28-year-old unemployed man from West Ruimveldt who was arraigned for robbery under arms was yesterday remanded to prison when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court. Orin Accra is accused of robbing a woman of a quantity of items.
He was not required to plead to the charge which was read to him by Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton.
The charge read that on Thursday August 30, 2012 at Industrial Site, Ruimveldt, Accra, armed with a knife, robbed Wilma Sukdeo of a lipstick, a lady’s handbag and umbrella among items worth $17,000.
Subsequently, after the allegation was presented to the accused, he asked for bail. However the prosecutor Shivonne Jupiter asked that Accra remain in custody given that he admitted to the offence in the caution statement he gave to the investigating rank.
The magistrate ruled that Accra be remanded to prison until October 5 after the prosecution gave a suitable reason for bail denial.
