“Cutlass wielding” robbery accused remanded
Sean Charles, a labourer from D’Urban Backlands appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on two criminal charges.
Charles is accused of robbing his neighbour, Magnolia Frank, of articles worth $40,000 and wounding her with the intent to maim or disfigure her at the time of the robbery.
Police information, is that on August 22, Frank was on her way to work when Charles came up from behind and grabbed hold of her gold chain. The woman was reluctant to give up her belonging hence she put up a fight.
Charles, who had armed himself with a cutlass, then dealt the victim several chops to the head and other parts of the body. Charles later made good his escape, leaving the weapon wedged in his victim’s head. Frank was subsequently admitted as a patient of the Female surgical Ward of Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
Charles pleaded not guilty to both offences which were read to him by Chief Magistrate (Ag) Priya Sewnarine-Beharry in the presence of Magistrate Sunil Scarce yesterday.
The prosecution was in opposition to the defendant being released on bail. Thus, Charles will be imprisoned until November 2.
