Delayed police investigations could see robbery accused freed
It has been over two months since police filed robbery under-arms charges against two men. But police are still to complete investigation as the two accused remain on remand at the Georgetown Prisons.
Negus Lamazon, 21, a mason, of 51 D’Urban Street, Lodge, Georgetown and Corinth Taylor, 22, a mechanic, of 53 D’Urban Street, Lodge, Georgetown, are charged with four counts of robbery under-arms.
On Monday, Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman ordered the prosecutor to file statements on July 10, or else she will dismiss the matters. The prosecutor had disclosed that investigations in the matters are still incomplete.
It is alleged that on April 10, while armed with a gun, they robbed Quacy Waldron of a BLU cell phone valued $30,000. It is also alleged that on April 10 at Regent Road, Georgetown while in the company of others and armed with a gun, they robbed Adidrey Liverpool of two gold chains valued $220,000.
It is further alleged that on the same day at the said location while armed with a gun, they robbed Lester Andrews of a Samsung Galaxy cell phone valued $160,000.
It is also alleged that on the said day at Regent Road, while armed with a gun they robbed Robin Fibruse of three gold chains with pendant valued $284,000 and a Samsung Galaxy J7 cell phone valued $65,000.
According to reports, approximately 20 persons were attending a farewell and were sitting on the northern pavement of Regent Street, Georgetown when they were robbed by bandits on CG motorcycles. Police said the bandits arrived from the western direction and came off their motorcycles, pointed their guns at the victims and robbed them. Some persons resisted and the gunmen fired about six shots in the air and made good their escape, south along Oronoque Street.
Kaieteur News understands that two of the bandits escaped on a motorcycle while the other bandit escaped on foot and left his motorcycle behind. That motorcycle was confiscated by police.
The prosecution is contending that Lamazon and Taylor were positively identified by the virtual complainants.
The prosecutor also disclosed that Lamazon was arrested at Springlands, Corentyne, Berbice, while en route to Suriname.
Earlier this year, Magistrate Dylon Bess discharged a murder charge against Lamazon and Samuel McIntyre.
The two men were accused of killing 33-year-old Orin David, who was riddled with bullets in front of his Laing Avenue, Georgetown home on August 1, 2016.
