Six men were on Friday charged with robbery under arms committed on Sachin Ramrattan of Number 69 Village, when they appeared before Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh at the Springlands Magistrate’s Court.
Jointly charged were Satyavan Bhawan, aka ‘Blacka’,45, a labourer of Number 76 Village, Corriverton, Mahendra Singh alias ‘Sunil’, 33, unemployed resident of Number 72 Village Corentyne, Haresh Kumar Rai, called ‘Ryan,’ 34, a security guard of Number 72 Village, Corentyne, Rabindra Kumar called ‘Buckman,’ a 27-year-old hire car driver of Number 73 Village Corentyne, and Khemraj Singh, 27, a fisherman of Number 69 Village Corentyne.
Bail was refused and they were remanded to prison. The matter was postponed to August 24 for a report at the said court.
On the 5th August, 2017 at Lot 100 Number 69 Village, Upper Corentyne, seven armed men stormed the home of Sachin Ramrattan.
According to initial reports, Ramrattan’s wife Vidya Gopaul, 26, and their 4-year-old son had retired to bed at 22:30 hrs. The pregnant 26-year-old who was not asleep heard a loud noise and voices when she awoke her husband. Fearful, the husband jumped off their bed and switched on the lights and it was then that they realized bandits had entered their home. He switched on the lights to ward off the men while his pregnant wife bolted the bedroom door. The men were already in the house and banging on the bedroom door when Ramrattan, his wife and son scaled their bedroom window and landed on the neighbor’s shed. By then some of the men had entered the room after they escaped and fired two shots as they ran for their safety. They managed to run to Gopaul’s mother’s house located two houses away from theirs and immediately contacted the police.
The men reportedly ransacked, ate and drank during the time spent at the house in search of valuables. They escaped with an estimated $1.2Million in jewellery, US $1000, a tablet and a cellphone.
