A homeless man was remanded to prison on an accusation that he was an armed robber.
Kwame Bruce, also known as “Gully Bapp”, of 65 Cross and Leopold Streets, denied the allegation which stated that on March 17, last, at Camp Street, he robbed Walter Drakes of a quantity of confectioneries, valued over $40,000. At the time Bruce was said to be armed with a knife.
Police Corporal Aduni Inniss, the Prosecutor, objected to bail on the premise that the defendant has no fixed place of abode.
Magistrate Annette Singh ordered that the defendant be sent to receive medical attention, since he appeared to be badly wounded.
Walter who was unrepresented by an Attorney will return to court on April 2.
