Dec 08, 2012 News

 

Three men, including two brothers, who were caught with parts of a pig in their yard, were on Wednesday placed on $20,000 bail each by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at the Reliance Magistrate’s Court. They were charged with larceny of animals.
The men, Richard Rohit, 23, and Krishna Rohit, 18, both of Lot 10 Section B Cumberland, East Canje and Elvis Cummings, 25, a hire car driver of Tucber Park, New Amsterdam are charged with stealing  two boars valued at $120,000, property of Garfield Skeete.
Skeete lives at King Street, Cumberland, and rears a variety of livestock. On the day in question he released his stock, among them 16 pigs to graze. He stated that he checked on them regularly during the morning.
Skeete, whose house was recently destroyed by fire, has to travel about a mile for lunch at a relative and return. He went to lunch around 11:30 hrs on the day in question. Upon his return about an hour later, two of his pigs were missing.
He, with help from other villagers, commenced a search for the missing animals, but came up empty handed. The following day he received certain information and entered a certain yard and was shocked when he found body parts of a pig.
When confronted the occupants stated that the remains were that of a goat. An altercation ensued as the occupants armed themselves with cutlasses.
The police were contacted and the perpetrators were arrested and charged.  A government veterinary officer (vet) was also contacted and confirmed that the remains were of a pig.
The men will have to return to court on Wednesday February 27, 2013.
