Deportee cons woman of $100,000 – court hears

Dec 30, 2015 News

A Guyanese who was recently deported from Barbados, was yesterday ordered to pay the sum of $100,000 to a woman he admitted to fleecing over four years ago.
The man, Trevor Carter, 45, of Henry Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown fraudulently converted the sum of BBD$1,000 given to him by one “Orel” in order for him to deliver to a relative of the individual, Natasha Divine a/k Jenel. The money is the property of Divine.
Failure to compensate Carter will see him spending three months in jail.
Police Corporal Deniro Jones presented the case of the prosecution. He told the court that Carter and the complainant are known to each other. Jones said that during 2011, Divine’s relative gave the money to Carter for him to take to the woman in Guyana.
According to the prosecutor, the complainant never saw or heard from Carter until December 7, when she saw him walking through Henry Street, Werk-en-Rust. Jones said that Divine approached the man and asked him for the money. However, Jones stated that Carter told the woman that she should come for the money the following day.
The matter was reported to the Brickdam Police Station and Carter was arrested and charged. The court was told that the man admitted to taking the money.
When given a chance to explain his side of the story, Carter claimed that he had given the money to a friend, who was travelling to Guyana, for him to give it to the woman. He alleged that he was made aware that the friend had not delivered the money to Divine after speaking with her via telephone. He said that he was willing to compensate Divine. He explained that he was willing to give the woman $75,000 on Saturday when he uplifts his salary.
But the Magistrate instructed him to repay all the money immediately or go to jail.
