Remanded: Daniel McArthur

Yesterday McArthur was arraigned in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly who revoked his bail and remanded him to prison until April 28, 2020.
The court heard that the defendant was held for questioning at the Sparendaam Police Station in relation to another robbery matter.
The teen made his first court appearance on October 25, 2019, before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly. He was jointly charged for allegedly robbing Ethan Muckoo, on October 17, 2019, at Camp Street, Georgetown, of a Samsung Galaxy cell phone valued at $280,000, and an $80,000 iphone.
The court heard that during or immediately after the robbery, they used personal violence on Muckoo. The defendants, Daniel McArthur, Shawn Inniss and Harcarlaus Harris, all denied the charge after it was read to them.
Meanwhile, McArthur was charged separately for robbing Juliet Wills of a brown handbag valued $5,000, a cell phone valued $65,000 and $2,000 cash on October 11, 2019 at Front Road Georgetown.
According to information received, the three boys were a part of a gang when they robbed Muckoo.
The victim then ran after the group of boys until he caught up with them at Camp Street.
The court heard that the boys then relieved Ethan of another cell phone and one of the boys, who was armed with an ice-pick, stabbed Muckoo to his left shoulder.
Police prosecutor Sanj Singh had highlighted that the teens were positively identified by the victim and that the police also have video evidence.
