Prisoner escapes from courthouse

Nov 17, 2012 News

 

De Jesus Narine is currently on remand for two counts of simple larceny and for escaping from police custody. Yesterday he almost succeeded after yet another effort to evade the process of justice.
Word reaching this newspaper is that Narine walked out and left the court house without being noticed by any of the police officers on duty.
According to a source the prisoner must have “slipped out”. Eyewitnesses, who claimed that they saw the escapee based on the description of his attire which the police gave, noted that the man “pelted out the courthouse and hurriedly fled the vicinity.”
He was however recaptured some time later in the vicinity of Georgetown by ranks who recognized him by the clothing that he was wearing since the runaway had already cut his hair in an attempt at disguise.
Narine is on trial for stealing a quantity of clothing from a boutique owned by Diana Bowen, and a cellular phone belonging to Akash Mohamed.
He is also facing another charge as he escaped from police custody the first time that he was arrested. According to sources another charge to that effect is likely to be brought against the defendant shortly. Meanwhile police investigations into the incident are ongoing.
