May 25, 2024 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

Kaieteur News – On Friday, three persons were placed on $350,000 bail each when they appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer attempted extortion charges.

The accused, Jose Bristol, Trevor Jones and Shane Shewram, appeared before Senior Magistrate Clive Nurse to answer the charges. The trio pleaded not guilty.

The three men were accused of attempting to extort G$1.2M from the complainant, Ronald Ramotar on August 20, at the Kingston, Seawall.

Shewram and Bristol were also charged with using a computer to extort Ramator by sharing private pictures of Ramator with the intent to embarrass him.

The trio had pleaded not guilty to the charge of attempt to extort money from Ramator.

Shewram and Bristol had pleaded not guilty to the additional charges against them.

The three men were all represented by separate attorneys who requested bail.

Shewram is an acting corporal of the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

The prosecutor objected to bail due to the serious nature of the charges.

Notwithstanding, the men were all granted $350,000 bail for each charge against them.

Magistrate Nurse has ordered that the trio lodge their passports. The men were also cautioned against making contact with the complainant.

The case has been adjourned to June 5, 2024.
