Bel Air heist trial continues

Oct 18, 2013 News

The trial for the $7M robbery at the Bel Air Park residence of businessman Malcolm Panday and his wife Annie Ramsood, continued yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
The court was reminded that on July 12, 2011 armed bandits invaded the family’s home and terrorised them at gunpoint. As the family members were tied up, the torment did not evade their four and two-year-old sons who had masking tape placed on their mouths.
However, in an effort to escape, several of the intruders who allegedly secured over seven million dollars were later pursued by police and eventually cornered in the compound of the Ocean Spray Hotel in Kitty. They and others were subsequently arrested and charged for several offences.
Currently on trial for the charge of robbery under arms are Chandrada ‘Sandra’ Rampersaud, mother of Annie Ramsood; Hardat Kumar, first cousin of Annie Ramsood; Jermaine Mitchell, Aubrey Simon and Rayon Jones.
The Magistrate yesterday handed down the decision on the voir dire, which concluded previously. She accepted that the oral and written confessions made by the accused were free and voluntary and therefore admitted into evidence.
The trial is set to continue on October 21 in the Chief Magistrate’s courtroom where Jermaine
Mitchell and Rayon Jones would be presenting their witnesses.
