After a month of trial, 23-year-old Aliscia Dennelle Simon, a third year Business Management
student at the University of Guyana, was yesterday freed on a charge which alleged that she harboured a wanted man.
Particulars of the charge against Simon, of 2785 Community Lane, South Ruimveldt Park, had alleged that between February 2 and 8 at Community Lane, South Ruimveldt Park, Georgetown, she harboured Shawn Neblett, whose name and photograph were published by police in connection with trafficking in narcotics.
