Man accused of robbing contractor denied bail

Sep 11, 2012 News

A 47-year-old vendor and father of two accused of robbing a contractor of $283,000 worth of cash and valuables appeared before (Ag) Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine -Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
The man, Mark Henry, is said to have committed the act against Building Contractor Tajnaught Luknauth on Saturday September 8.
His Attorney, Paul Fung-A-Fat made a request for bail and told the court that on the day of his client’s apprehension, he was chased by a group of people and so he ran without knowing why he was being chased.
However prosecutor Gordon Mansfield told the court that the defendant admitted to the crime in the caution statement that he gave to the police.
According to police information, the plaintiff was on Camp and Church Streets with $260,000 and a quantity of construction tools cloaked in a canvas bag when Henry and a group of other persons came up behind him.
Luknauth remembers Henry grabbing the bag and they became engaged in a scuffle. Henry eventually relived the man of his bag and took off running. Luknauth stopped a taxi and gave chase and the defendant was caught with the bag in his possession.
