Sunita Henry
Kaieteur News – Two women were on Thursday placed on $600,000 bail each when they appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer to forgery charges.
Sunita Henry, of Lot 138 King Edwards Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and pleaded not guilty to three forgery charges.
It is alleged that between July 1 and 29, 2025 at Georgetown, Henry conspired with unknown persons to forge a Citizen’s Bank cheque valued $15.5M and written in favour of S’M Service Station.
It is also alleged that Henry on July 29, 2025 at Camp Street and South Road, Georgetown, with intent to defraud; uttered a citizen bank cheque in favour of S’M Service Station for the amount of $15.5 million.
Henry was also charged with endeavouring to obtain property upon forged instrument on July 29. She reportedly forged a Citizen Bank cheque signed by M. Wilson who is the owner of S’M Service Station, with the intent to obtain $15.5 million.
The accused, represented by Konyo Holder, who requested bail. The attorney reassured the court that her client is not a flight risk while arguing that the three charges relate to the same cheque.
The prosecution objected to bail stating that Henry is accused of a serious offence. The court was told that the prosecution is in possession of CCTV footage of the accused in the bank with the cheque along with telephone records and conversations with the defendant and the suspect, who is yet to be arrested for conspiring with Henry.
Additionally, the court heard that Henry admitted to the offence during a video/audio interview. The prosecution argued that should the mother of six be granted bail, she would not return to court given the strong evidence against her.
Accused Nicola Raupersaud
Notwithstanding the arguments, Magistrate McGusty reminded that the offence is bailable and as a result Henry was released on $200,000 bail for each of the three charges.
She was also cautioned by the magistrate about the consequences she may face should she not return to court while on bail. Henry is required to report to the Brickdam police Station every last Friday of the month between 9am and 12pm.
Similarly, Nicola Raupersaud, a caretaker from Eccles, East Bank Demerara (EBD) was also placed on $600,000 after pleading not guilty to three forgery charges. Raupersaud appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty who read the charges.

It is alleged that on the same day and at the said address, she forged a Citizen’s Bank cheque signed by D. Ferdinand, Managing Director of Home Design and Engineering Inc., with the intent to obtain $8.5 million.
Raupersaud was also represented by Konyo Holder who requested bail. The lawyer told the court that her client is not a flight risk and is willing to submit her passport to the court.
