Bel Air Heist trial nears conclusion

Jun 12, 2013 News

The trial in which seven persons have been accused of robbing businessman Malcolm Panday is nearing its conclusion. The incident took place at Panday’s Bel Air Park home in July 2011. Bandits had escaped with $7 million following a brazen mid-morning attack.
The persons accused of executing the crime are Panday’s mother in law, Chandrada Rampersaud, her nephew, Hardat Kumar, along with his associates, Jermaine Mitchell, Rayon Jones, Aubrey Simon and Rabindranauth Seemangal.
Seemangal is currently serving a prison sentence of eight years having admitted to the charges. He later became the prosecution’s chief witness, after he was sentenced. The case is being prosecuted by Attorneys Glenn Hanoman and Bernard De Santos, SC.
It was called up before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday, but was adjourned until tomorrow, when police witnesses will be summoned to the stand.
This newspaper was reliably informed that a setback occurred due to the death of Attorney at Law, Randolph Kirton. Kirton was representing one of the accused men, Rayon Jones.
He died several months ago following a period of prolonged illness. Jones consequently retained the services of another lawyer, George Thomas, who requested that prosecution witnesses be recalled to the stand to give evidence on Jones’s behalf.
Four Police witnesses have since been summoned, two of whom, have already given their portion of evidence.
On the next date, the other two witnesses will be allowed to testify.
