Clyde Forte has been remanded to prison until Friday 15. Forte appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on four charges of discharging a loaded firearm with intent and one charge of robbery under arms. He pleaded not guilty to all five charges.
On December 20, 2012 at Georgetown, while armed with a hand gun Forte reportedly robbed Sherwin Duncan of an $800,000 diamond ring, a $350,000 gold chain and other items.
During the robbery the defendant reportedly discharged a loaded gun into a crowd, something that was potentially harmful to innocent bystanders and those that were in the company of the victim.
According to the prosecution the accused and the complainant are known to each other.
On the day in question at about 23:30 hrs the victim was sitting on a bench when the accused and two others went up to him and pointed a handgun at him.
The gunmen relieved Duncan of the articles and escaped.
However, Forte was identified as the person who committed the act. As a consequence, he was placed before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday.
