Buxton man charged with violent robbery and damage to property on $120k bail

Dec 21, 2024 News

Kaieteur News- A 27-year-old man from Buxton, East Coast Demerara (ECD) appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, on Friday, to face robbery with violence and malicious damage to property charges.

Kacy Marshall, of Lot 43 Buxton Company Road, ECD, is accused of robbing Devon Charles of a gold chain valued at $335,000 on July 24, 2024, at Regent and Camp Streets, Georgetown. During or after the robbery, Marshall allegedly used personal violence, causing Charles to suffer a fractured skull and chest injuries. Additionally, Marshall is accused of maliciously damaging an Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, valued at $185,000.

Marshall appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty, who read the charges to him. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.

During the proceedings, Marshall’s attorney, Jevon Cox, applied for bail, noting that his client had been arrested on August 9, 2024, and was placed on $100,000 station bail, and has been reporting regularly to the Alberttown Police Station. Cox questioned why Marshall was only being brought to court months after his arrest and requested reasonable bail, citing Marshall’s recent unemployment, his two minor children, and the fact that he appeared in court voluntarily.

However, the prosecution objected to bail, emphasizing the severity of the charges and the penalties involved. The prosecution also highlighted the injuries sustained by Charles. Additionally, the prosecution stated that video footage showed Marshall fleeing the scene and noted that the stolen jewellery had not been recovered.

After considering both arguments, Magistrate McGusty granted bail in the sum of $120,000: $75,000 for the robbery with violence and $50,000 for the damage to property. Marshall is scheduled to return to court on January 17, 2025, for further proceedings.
