Cousins in court over “break in” allegation

Jan 22, 2013 News

Leon Sealey took his 24-year-old cousin to court after he accused him of breaking into his home and stealing some $590,000 worth of cash and jewelry.
The accused, Quincy Williams pleaded not guilty to the break and enter charge when he appeared before Magistrate Allan Wilson.
The court heard that on January 16, at Lot 7 Joseph Pollydore Street, Lodge, Williams allegedly broke and entered Sealey’s home and stole $60,000 in local currency, US$900 , a gold chain, a gold band and four gold rings valued at $350,000.
The defendant was represented by Attorney-at-Law, Paul Fung –A- Fat.
Fung-A- Fat told the court that his client vehemently denies the charges. The lawyer asserted that the police did not procure a caution statement from the defendant neither was he placed on an identification parade. As such, the lawyer asked that his client be released on bail
However Police Prosecutor, Kerry Bostwick told the court that the defendant was positively identified by at least two eyewitnesses, who saw him go into the house on the day of the incident.
Bostwick further told the court that the accused and the plaintiff once shared the same home, giving him knowledge on how to gain entry to the said house.
Furthermore, the prosecutor asked that if bail should be granted that it be on condition that Williams lodge his travel document and report to a given police station on a regular basis.
Williams was nevertheless refused bail until January 30. He is expected to make his next appearance before the Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine –Beharry.
