Escaped prisoner recaptured

Dec 11, 2014 News

With the assistance of residents a regular criminal who had escaped from the New Amsterdam Prison a few days after he was remanded has been recaptured.
The man, Khemraj Panday, 20, of Victoria Street, Cumberland, was caught with three others a few days ago. Panday was strangely taken out of the penitentiary to do chores.
He was remanded with the three others on a number of charges, including break and enter and larceny. On Friday morning while doing work outside the confines of the prison he managed to escape.
A manhunt was subsequently launched for the fugitive. A number of prison and police officers were deployed in the neighbouring villages. Panday, Doodnauth Bissondyal, Takurdyal Bissondyal and Parvis Etwaroo were caught whilst in the act of breaking into the business premises at West Canefield on November 23.
Residents spotted the man in the neighbouring village of Fort Ordnance and alerted the law enforcement officials, who were able to capture the man who was sitting alone under a house on Tuesday.
Panday and his cohorts were also charged with break and enter in November.
Takurdyal Bissondyal was also charged with being in possession of house breaking implements on November 23. When he was caught he was found with a nipper in his hand, a padlock and knife in his pocket and a bag on his back.
They appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Reliance Magistrate’s court and were remanded to prison until January 7, 2015.
The bandits are all known to the authorities and have a number of matters of similar nature pending in the magistrate’s court.  They were out on bail when they committed the latest acts.
