High court trial for rape accused

Jan 29, 2013 News

 

Nandram Nandan, 39, a mechanic from Lot 70 D Field, North Sophia has been committed to stand trial in the High court. Nandan is facing a carnal knowledge charge after it was alleged that he had raped an underage female relative.
The charge read that on April 21 2011, Nandan had carnal knowledge of a female under the age of 15 years old. He was not required to plead to the charge.
Facts of the case state that on Phagwah day, 2011 the child and her parents went to the Sophia residence of the accused to engage in the sacred celebrations. In the heat of the Holi festivity, the teen told police investigators that she was pulled into a bathroom located in the yard, where Nandan forcefully had sexual intercourse with her.
The ruling was passed by Magistrate Sueanna Lovell at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court last Wednesday.
Defense Counsel Bernard De Santos made a no case submission at the close of the Preliminary Inquiry.  His submission was responded to by Prosecutor Neville Jeffers.
However the Magistrate in her decree to the court stated that a prima facie case had been made out against the accused.
Hence, Nandan was committed to stand trial in the High Court at the next practical sitting of the Demerara Criminal Assizes.
