Man allegedly sold stolen bulls for Eid sacrifice
Written by Jeune Bailey Vankeric Monday, 21 October 2013 23:13 A man of Lot 121 Number 68 Village, Corentyne, who is accused of stealing four bulls and selling them for Eid sacrifice, appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court recently and was put on $75,000 bail.
Trevor Poonai pleaded not guilty to stealing the bulls branded AFR 10 and valued $350,000, property of Rohan Singh, a rice farmer. The court was told that the rice farmer is also the owner of a hundred and eighty head of cattle, including two dark spotted bulls, a dark brown one, and another that is cream coloured. Between September 23 and October 7, checks were made for the animals and they were seen; but on October 15 the bulls went missing. As a result checks were made at various places, but the virtual complainant (VC) came up empty-handed. However, in light of the Islamic holiday last week, the VC knew that persons would purchase animals for slaughter. Consequently, he went to the Number 74 Village Masjid where one bull was tied, waiting to be slaughtered. The missing bulls were identified by its owner, who said that the animals were allegedly bought from the defendant. The matter has been transferred to the Number 51 Magistrateβs Court for hearing on October 30.
