Prosecution gets more time to serve statements on Barry Dataram’s reputed wife
The prosecution was given an additional three weeks to file statements in the matters for which the reputed wife of Barry Dataram is charged with attempting to defeat the administration of justice and forging a Republic of Guyana passport.
REMANDED: Anjanie Boodnarine
Anjanie Boodnarine, 21, of Lot 79 Patentia Housing Scheme, West Bank Demerara is currently on remand in relation to the offences.
Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan had refused to grant her bail at an earlier court hearing ruling that the court is of the opinion that she is a flight risk.
The Chief Magistrate had instructed Police Prosecutor Neville Jeffers to have statements served on Boodnarine earlier this week.
However, when the matter came up, Prosecutor Jeffers additional requested an adjournment to have statements served on Boodnarine.
According to the Prosecutor, only statements from two police witnesses have so far been filed. Chief Magistrate McLennan adjourned the matter until November 22, for further statements.
It is alleged that between September 20 and October 15, having been charged with possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking and having knowledge that the matter was pending in the court; Boodnarine willfully attempted to defeat the administration of the law so as to avoid the consequence.
It was also alleged that between April 15, 2013 and October 15, 2016 at Camp Street, Georgetown, she conspired with other persons to forge a Republic of Guyana Passport, in favour of herself, to show that the document was issued by the Central Immigration and Passport Office.
It is further alleged that on September 20, at Springlands, Corentyne, Berbice, she departed Guyana without presenting herself to an immigration officer.
But this matter was transferred to the Springland’s Magistrate’s Court for November 16.
She pleaded not guilty to the allegations in the presence of her Attorney Cleavaughn Humphrey on October 18, in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Boodnarine and Dataram were captured last month by Surinamese authorities after absconding a drug trafficking trial in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Dataram was slapped with these same three charges. However, he pleaded guilty and was jailed for two years and 24 months.
Dataram was convicted and sentenced to 60 months’ imprisonment for the drug trafficking offence in his absence; Boodnarine was acquitted.
