He came all the way from Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke/Linden Highway to visit his kidâs mom at Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara. But the 20-year-old labourer never catered for being robbed of his expensive Nike Air-Max shoes.
That is exactly what happened Wednesday night to the victim, who was abducted, robbed and then pushed out of a car.
According to police, around 21:15hrs, the victim was proceeding south along the Mon Repos School Road, when he was pounced upon by the driver of a motor car, PRR 1787, who placed a knife to his neck.
The man was forced into the back seat of the car where two male suspects relieved him of his footwear, silver jewellery, mobile phone and other items.
Police said that the robbers then pushed the man out of the vehicle which sped away.
It was reported that while the bandits were making their escape, their vehicle came into contact with another vehicle causing minor damage. However, the robbers failed to stop.
The owner of the damaged vehicle summoned a Community Policing Group (CPG) patrol which responded promptly and intercepted the car and its driver in a nearby village, minus the two accomplices.
According to police, the driver was arrested and escorted to the Beterverwagting Police Station along with his vehicle by the CPG members.
The robbery victim who was there to make a report, positively identified the driver and the vehicle as being the one used in the crime.
Police said that a search of the vehicle unearthed a knife fitting the description of the one used to rob the victim.
The 21-year-old suspect, who resides at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo and Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, is said to be cooperating with investigators.
The police lauded the efforts of the CPG members.

Good work by the CPG. Now if the GPF can do the same.

Powers to arrest and hold the individuals until the police arrive.
It appears from reports that CPGs are volunteers with an interest in this matter. Unsure of the level of training they do receive.

Well, if the GPF is spread too thinly maybe these people should be given some sort of training and at the very least some kind of protection like bulletproof vests and maybe nonlethal weapons like tasers and teargas.

This is a great day for Guyana when all I have to report is baby formula shop lifting. On the other hand it demonstrates how desperate the common person has become under jackass Granger's hard guava season when they have to resort to stealing baby formula.
ONE of two alleged serial shoplifters is in police custody, while the other is being pursued following an incident at GST #3 Supermarket, located at Annandale Market Road, East Coast Demerara, on Thursday night.
The business, formerly Pepsi Supermarket is managed by a Chinese couple who was able to fight off the shoplifters, who fled and left behind the motorcar they arrived in on Thursday night.
Commander of âCâ Division Calvin Brutus told the Guyana Chronicle that they are trying to ascertain in whose name the car PTT 8249, a brown Premio is registered to and as such it is lodged with the police.
However, the Guyana Chronicle understands that the car is registered to one Joycelyn Laurie of Laing Avenue, Georgetown. Brutus also confirmed that one of the three alleged thieves is in custody and efforts are being made to apprehend the others, including a woman.
Brutus related that the alleged shoplifter in custody has been identified as Robert Beckles of 45 Victory Valley, Linden, who is out on bail for robbery under arms, simple larceny and carjacking. He reportedly got out of jail a month ago and is known to police in âEâ Division and its environs.
The Commander stated that he was picked up by the police patrol at about 20:50hrs on Thursday night, while he was walking aimlessly in Annandale. He reportedly told cops he was heading to Eastville, the neighbouring village and a search of his person unearthed the keys to the motorcar, which they abandoned on the Annandale Public Road.
Beckles claimed he and the others rented the car from a dealer in the city and he had the keys stashed in his boots. Brutus told the Guyana Chronicle that police carried out a search of the car and found other items in it, which include gold-plated watches, sunglasses and a ladies handbag containing baby milk products and a high-end phonics game.
At about 18:15hrs several customers were inside the supermarket shopping when a woman and two men entered and they proceeded to browse through the aisles. It was when a tin of baby milk (Enfagrow) fell out from under the womanâs dress in the supermarket the Chinese proprietor became suspicious and went into his office to review the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and saw what they were about.
The Chinese man alerted his wife and he confronted the group, after which a scuffle ensued in which he put up a good fight with one of the men. After the shoplifter sprayed mace into the face of the Chinese national and his wife they ran out of the supermarket, but not before he grabbed a bag which contained two jars of marmite.
The Chinese proprietor did not give up and pursued the shoplifters with a piece of wood and was about to throw it on them when they were nearing the getaway the car which was parked nearby causing them to ran off in different directions. By then shoppers became aware of the incident and they too tried to pursue the group, who fled on foot leaving behind the getaway car after which the police was summoned. Ranks fanned out via the patrol vehicles and combed the area and observed a man walking in the village and he was questioned and arrested after a search of his person unearthed the keys to the getaway car he abandoned.
A BRAZILIAN miner of the North West District (NWD), who was heading to his dredge, was robbed of his gold and All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) by two masked gunmen Thursday.
Reports indicate that the two men, armed with a shotgun and a handgun respectively, stopped the 52-year-old Brazilian, who was travelling on an ATV en-route to his dredge operations, which was 10 minutes away from his camp.
The armed bandits then proceeded to rob the miner of cash, raw gold, jewelry and his green ATV before making their escape.
The Brazilian was unharmed and no one was arrested as police investigations continue.

A woman who locks herself in a dilapidated house and prays all day, is the prime suspect in the
Dead: Isaiah Smartt
death of eight-year-old Isaiah Smartt, whose body was pulled from a shallow drain on Tuesday night at âEâ Field, Sophia.
A post mortem performed on the ladâs body yesterday revealed that he died from asphyxiation due to Bronchoaspiration and compounded by compression injuries to the neck.
The childâs relatives are convinced that it was a sacrificial murder and as such, investigators have arrested a spiritualist in whose yard the body was found.
The woman was arrested late yesterday and taken to the Alberttown Police Station where she gave a statement and was subsequently taken into custody.
The boyâs body was found in the drain that is about two-feet deep, one day after he went missing
What is strange is that the spiritualist claimed that she did not see the body although the discovery was made right next to her back doorâat the side of her house.
What is even more suspicious is the fact that the woman has to walk right at the side of the house to go to the bathroom and to her motherâs home where she sleeps.
There are three houses in the yardâthe spiritualistâs family lives in the front house, the middle and back houses are abandoned.
It is in the back house that the woman reportedly carries out her sacrificial acts. While the yard is used by some residents as a short cut to get to the other street, some persons are scared to walk there.
âThe house is empty. It only has an altar shelf and she is in there all day praying. She locks herself in and lights candle and pray,â the ladâs mother, Joycelyn Pickett, said during an interview yesterday, while adding that the moment she spotted her sonâs body in the drain, she suspected something was fishy.
âMy son canât drown in 12 inches of water,â the woman maintained.
The spot where the ladâs body was discovered.
When this newspaper visited the area yesterday, a young man said that when the discovery was made, almost everyone knew he was killed and his body was placed there.
âHe had blood coming from his eyes and it looked like someone lifted him and put him in the drain. That lil boy does be swimming in the trench, so he cannot die in a drain with water that didnât reach my knee,â the young man noted.
He said that the little boy walked through the yard a lot to get to the other street where he would usually swim and pick mangoes. âHis family dem didnât had time with this lil boy. Some nights, he alone dey does lef in that house and you does see he walking the streets all day.â
Meanwhile, recalling what transpired, Pickett noted that the lad left home with his sister on Monday.
A relative saw him cutting callaloo with a cutlass in his sisterâs backyard while dressed in a raincoat and long boots. He was using his little sisterâs umbrella.
After cutting the callaloo, he was seen walking through the womanâs yardâthis was the last time he was seen alive.
Pickett said when her son did not return home, she thought that he was at his fatherâs home, since the man lives in the same neighbourhood.
âHis sister thought that he was mad at me, and I thought he was at his father. On Tuesday afternoon, my great nephew went to fill water in the neighbour yard when he saw the umbrella. He picked it up and he saw the coat floating,â Pickett said.
Upon further examination, they discovered that it was the childâs remains. Pickett said that her great nephew took a stick and tried to pull him out.
According to the childâs mother, she was told that when her great nephew took the stick to pull the rain coat, the spiritualist started shouting on him and even when her daughter started crying, the woman asked them why they were crying.
Investigations are ongoing.

They stopped a motorcar driven by a forty-seven-year-old salesman, relived him of his cash, cellular phones and that of his vehicle and fled the scene. The vehicle was recovered in the said village. Crime scene investigators have retrieved several latent prints and seven spent shells from the crime scenes.
Scale a fence
Meanwhile, when Guyana Chronicle visited the scene businesswoman, Saroj Singh, related that as per norm, she opened for business and at about 09:30hrs three men walked in and asked to make a purchase of 2lbs of plantains. Mrs. Singh added that before she could tend to them, one of the men drew a handgun and ordered her, two sons and husband into the house. Realising it was a robbery she ran to the back of the yard and scaled a fence and went to a neighbourâs house while screaming for help, but people were afraid to render assistance since the men were armed.
She related that the trio took her sons, Rakesh and Navendra Narine and husband, Takur Dutt Narine into the bottom flat of the house and they ransacked a bedroom for valuables. Mrs. Singh stated that the robbers spent some time in the house searching for money and jewels and in the process lashed her youngest son, Navendra Narine in his head with a gun: her husband was also beaten about the body. The men then calmly left the shop and joined by a fourth man began walking down the street as residents and other onlookers began converging on the scene. The homeowners rushed out behind them throwing glass bottles, to which the men retaliated by discharging a volley of bullets at them, with one bullet striking Rakesh Narine in the left foot.
Eyewitnesses say that when vehicles gathered on the scene blocked the passage of an apparent getaway car, the bandits walked, hijacked a black X-Trail sport-utility vehicle, PWW 1516 driven by Republic Bank salesman, Gary Halley. They took away Halleyâs wallet and two cell phones and ordered him out of the vehicle but exited it several streets away, where a car arrived with two other armed men and they escaped.
A resident said she saw four men exiting the black vehicle which they had hijacked and left it parked in front of her house, but did not take it for anything. It was after sometime she learnt there was a robbery in the village. She explained that she thought the men were
construction workers because they all had haversacks, but noticed one of them carrying a carton of Bristol cigarettes.
Mrs. Singh, the owner of White Shop, told this newspaper that the last incident in which the shop was robbed was about five years ago, when the premises was broken into and some articles were taken, including gas bottles. She said that the bandits in Tuesdayâs attack were not masked, but were not known to her, even though she has been operating the small grocery in the area for the past ten years. In the aftermath of the incident, her shot son, Rakesh, was taken to the hospital for medical attention.
According to âDâ Division Commander, Leslie James, no arrests have yet been made up to press time but they are following several leads.
A SCHOOL teacher was, on Tuesday morning, awakened, threatened and robbed of about one million dollars by two armed bandits just after 02:015hrs at her Lot 39 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam home, Berbice.
Divisional Commander Assistant Commissioner Ian Amsterdam, told reporters that the teacher, Melissa Ramdhan, was awakened by the intruders who were armed with knives and cutlasses. The bandits, who are of mixed race and of African descent respectively, carted off gold jewellery, a laptop computer, a wristwatch, a shoulder bag and cash.
The Guyana Chronicle was told that the bandits, after attacking the teacher, gagged her mouth and tied her hands to the bed frame before raising the volume of the television, prior to demanding the valuables.
At the time of incident, the teacher was occupying the lower flat of the two-storey building. After entering the home, the bandits demanded the valuables from Ramdhan then sprayed the woman with an irritant resulting in her becoming unconscious.
After regaining consciousness, the men reportedly untied her before forcing her to the upper flat where her relatives lived.
Sanjeev Rambaran, the womanâs nephew, told reporters that he was awakened following a loud banging at their door, and upon looking through the window, observed that his uncle Khrishna Sukhoo had sustained a wound to his head. âHe said somebody lashed [him] across his head with a cutlass. I called out to neighbours, but no one responded. I then call for the police who came 30 minutes later,â he said.
Meanwhile, neighbours revealed that fear fell over them after being awakened by the noise. â âThis time nah lang time.â We canât take any chances with bandits today. The incident was unfortunate, but we too have families to protect,â says a resident who has been living in the area for over 40 years .
Investigations are continuing.
RESIDENTS of Bartica, in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni administrative region have expressed disgust over a prevailing situation of sexual exploitation in which teenage girls as young as 13 are being gang-raped, some even drugged with ecstasy, by a group of men in the area.
The Guyana Chronicle was alerted by a post on social media by a Bartica man Tuesday highlighting what he called the âreal dangersâ faced by young women, whom he listed as â13, 14, 15 year-old schoolgirlsâ.
âSo in Bartica there is this gang of men, who goes around luring these 13,14, 15 year old schoolgirls, picking them up from school and taking them to various places including hotels, then having a ball with them.. part of the process include giving them Ecstasy,â part of the manâs post read.
When the Guyana Chronicle contacted Bartica Mayor Gifford Marshall Tuesday afternoon he confirmed the reports to be true. Marshall said his office is aware of the situation and has launched an investigation. He is expected to give a statement on the issue in a few days after he would have gathered adequate information.
Another official in Bartica also told the Guyana Chronicle that investigations reveal that some of the same men are involved repeatedly in the series of rape which has been happening for a while. The source said the latest two cases which were reported involved, two teenaged school girls â ages 13 and 14 respectively â who complained of being gang raped on separate occasions.
The Guyana Chronicle understands that one of the girls, a 13-year-old complained that five adult men had gang-raped her before letting her go. Police are investigating the matter. âAround Christmas time there was one that they drugged and she was naked. She ran out of the house and ran out on the road naked,â a reliable source told the Guyana Chronicle. According to the source, a video of the naked girl on the street was also circulating on social media. She was only 15 years old.
âSome of the cases are in court, some are back and forth. Social workers are aware of it,â the source said.
Sometimes the girls are being lured and at other times they are bullied. According to the source, âBartica is a society which is fast pace, so at this stage they might offer them a phone or some time to lure them.â
President of the Guyana Women Miners Organisation (GWMO) Urica Primus, who is also a Bartician, expressed disgust and said the issue is not a new one. She told the Guyana Chronicle that rape in Bartica is on a steady increase, but few persons report cases, since many of such cases end prematurely.
âRape in Bartica is steadily increasing, with less personâs reporting due to many cases not going to trial. For a number of cases the victims are told that their files are with the DPP and when we check, the files arenât thereâĶ This is a matter that we brought to the attention of the Hinterland Intelligence Committee, which we are a part of, and a complaint that we heard as recent as Saturday during our TIP Sensitization Rescue and Rehabilitation programme at Port Kaituma,â the GWMO President told the Guyana Chronicle on Tuesday.
She said too that with little or no support services available to victims in some rural communities, perpetrators walk free and have opportunities to threaten or bribe the victim in many cases. The GWMO is working aggressively with little resource to render as much help as they can to victims of sexual exploitation, and all other forms of abuse against children and women across Guyana, she said.
âWe will continue to assist the communities and the parents in an effort for them to get justice for their children, whether it is relaying between them and the DPP, following up with the police and also following the process all the way through court to ensure that the children and adults, whoever the victims are, get justice for the crimes which happened to them,â Primus told the Guyana Chronicle.
A MAN sitting on the seawall Monday night at Ogle, East Coast Demerara relaxing, was robbed by three armed bandits who also bundled him in his car and took him to a Robb Street ATM to withdraw cash.
Reports indicate that the aircraft engineer was robbed of $60,000 cash and one Samsung cell phone. He was at the time sitting on the seawall at 22:00hrs when the men approached him with a gun pointed in his direction.
The engineer then handed over 20,000 in cash that he had in his possession, along with his cell phone, but the bandits demanded more.
He was then taken to his vehicle PVV 17 32, where he was restrained in the back seat while the men drove to a Robb Street ATM. One of the bandits then exited the vehicle and visited the ATM where a withdrawal of $40,000 was done using the engineerâs bank card.
The bandits then used the vehicle with the engineer inside to go on a joy ride, later abandoning the vehicle with the victim at Regent and Cummings Streets, Georgetown. The matter was reported to the police on Tuesday and investigations continue.
THE body of a man who was beaten to death Monday morning on Third Avenue,Bartica, after refusing to leave the scene of a sexual act that was being performed by three persons is yet to be formally identified, police have confirmed.
Known only by the alias âRadika,â the body is at the Bartica Hospital mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination. According to the police, three persons inclusive of a female are in custody assisting with the murder investigation. The incident occurred between 04:00-08:00hrs Monday on Third Avenue Beach, Bartica.
Investigations have revealed that because the victim refused to remove from the beach, the suspects, who were involved in a âthreesome act,â allegedly gave him a severe beating. According to the police, a public-spirited citizen who witnessed the incident summoned the police who responded promptly and arrested the suspects and escorted the victim who was in an unconscious state, to the Bartica Public Hospital where he succumbed whilst receiving treatment.
A TWENTY-YEAR-OLD shop assistant was raped at gunpoint on Tuesday evening, in the vicinity of the Mayor and Town Council (M&TC) Housing Scheme, in New Amsterdam, as she was returning to her Mount Sinai, home, in West Canje.
The woman, who is employed at a popular grocery shop on Strand Road, had moments ago, concluded her dayâs work and had decided to walk home along the newly constructed, all weather roadway that stretches from Shoe Lane to Angoyâs Avenue, on the eastern fringe of the New Amsterdam township, She was suddenly pulled into a nearby clump of bushes.
Her struggles to resist her attackerâs grip on her body, was too weak to ward off the youth who pointed a pistol to her head, before demanding that she comply with his wishes. âI want some sex and I got to get it,â he muttered into her ear. But, she did not submit easily. The woman said she screamed, alerting a passing cyclist, who in turn alerted a hire car driver who was in the vicinity plying his trade. But, the driver was overheard saying, âMe wife and me daughters are at home. Me ainât got no time,â before driving off.
The alleged rape victim said she was sexually violated for over an hour before the rapist left her behind, bleeding and battered. She said, it was another passerby, who came to her rescue and subsequently alerted relatives. At the time of this report, the victim was undecided as to whether she should report the matter to the police, as she claimed it is very difficult for her to relive the life changing incident again. However, she has since issued a call for the M&TC to clear all overgrown bushes along the parapets and open lots, and to place electric lamps along the roadways so as to improve on the security within the community.
âAs woman, I must feel safe to walk. It was not late. Just after 1900hrs. I would hear of similar stories, occurring in this area, but I never believe. I feel so humiliated. I feel so violatedâĶâ
OMA Mangar and her family are still reeling from shock having suffered brutality at the hands of two gunmen who robbed their home on Tuesday night.
Mangar told the Guyana Chronicle that at about 20:05hrs on Tuesday night, she, her parents and two visiting relatives were seated in the bottom flat of their Lot 189 Stanleytown, West Bank Demerara home, chatting.
Her mother, who was facing the window, observed a man jumping the fence and she started to scream, but by then the robber was joined by an accomplice, both of whom were armed with handguns.
Mangar related that the robbers placed them to lie face down on the ground and told them to stay quiet and hand over their valuables.
She said that the men were shouting at them the whole time and threatened to shoot if they did not comply. She added that her father hesitated and tried to resist but he was struck to his back with a gun by one of the two bandits and forced to the floor.
Mangar said that the men were not masked and are not known to them but they carted off with a laptop, cell phones, a blow dryer and an undisclosed amount of cash. She could not say how the men arrived or left the scene, since they were too afraid to look outside after the robbery.
Manger said that neighbours related that they did not see anything but she surmised that the bandits were watching and waiting before they carried out the robbery.
The matter was reported and the police were summoned but the bandits were long gone by the time the police arrived on the scene. Police said no arrests have yet been made but the probe is ongoing.

â Dead man had a university degree
Shock, anger and disbelief were some of the emotions expressed yesterday when
three educated young men with good professions were identified as the suspects in yesterdayâs attempted robbery at Republic Bank Limited (RBL) on Water Street, Georgetown.
Elton Wray, a 25-year-old agronomist attached to the National Agriculture Research Extension Institute (NAREI) was shot dead while his accomplice, Jamal Haynes, who worked at the said bank for seven years sustained gunshot wounds to both legs.
Wrayâs cousin, 22-year-old Keron Sanders, who was the last suspect to exit the bank was apprehended and is assisting with investigation.
Crime Chief, Wendell Blanhum, confirmed that a second bank employee, who has been fingered in the robbery plot, has been taken into custody. Blanhum pointed out that at this point it is only an allegation and investigation is ongoing to determine whether the second person was a suspect.
Kaieteur News was informed that the three pistols the men tried to rob the bank with were recovered by the cops.
Managing Director the Professional Guard Services (PGS), Sean Kirkpatrick, said that three armed men entered Republic Bank before it was open to the public.
The perpetrators wore masks, gloves and carried handguns with which they opened fire on the RBL personnel.
PGS security guards who were on site immediately raised an alarm and armed response teams proceeded to the location.
According to Kirkpatrick, when the team arrived, the gunmen opened fire on them; the guards returned fire.
With the help of the police, the robbery was thwarted.
The plotâĶ
According to information, the robbers had planned the attack on the bank for some time; this was confirmed by one of the captured bandits.
They were dropped off on Robb Street, in the vicinity of the vendorâs mall (opposite the bank) in HC 7778 and walked to the bank with their faces covered and pistols in their hands.
This newspaper was told that the men planned that after robbing the bank, they wound have ran south of the bank and rejoin the vehicle and head to another location where they wound have split the loot among themselves.
However, their plans failed when members from the Professional Guard Services responded to one of their colleagueâs call and cornered them until the police arrived.
How it all startedâĶ
Around 07:20 hrs yesterday, the three men walked to the bank and fired several shots to scare persons away. They went into the ATM and shot open the door to get into the bank.
Investigators believed that Haynes was the individual who plotted the act since he was familiar with the time the vault opens.
âBefore they could have got to the vault, they heard gunshots outside and they panicked. They began running around inside the bank,â a staffer told this newspaper yesterday.
A vehicle with armed guards was in the vicinity and responded to the scene when one of their colleagues called to inform that the bank was under attack.
âThey thought was police. They didnât expect anyone to respond so soon with the traffic around that time,â the staffer said.
Wray ran out of the bank, while firing shots and ended up at the Plaisance Bus Park where he was apprehended. He was shot to the chest and died while receiving treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
Bank staffer Haynes, on the other hand, held a gun to one of the bank employeeâs neck and took him to the vendorâs mall where he allowed the young man to leave. He then ran into a canteen.
âDe bai run in the kitchen, put on an apron and a hat and start cooking but people see when he run in and run behind he so he couldnât hide,â a vendor said. The woman explained that Haynes usually purchased food from the same canteen.
The police held Sanders, a Mocha, East Bank Demerara (EBD) resident, when he tried to exit the bank.
Haynesâs relatives were the only people to turn up at the hospital. They insisted that the young man was not a bandit but was in fact wrongfully arrested.
His grandmother, who did not give her name, said that he left to go to work as usual and said something went wrong. The woman said that the 24-year-old man worked at the bank for seven years and never got into those activities. His sister also worked at the bank.
Career menâĶ
Wray, whose father is a senior official at Immigrations, went to China on a government scholarship and earned a monthly salary of $186,299.
Only last year, he received a duty free concession and brought in a Nissan Juke, PWW 1452. He parked his vehicle around 04:00 hrs yesterday at the Parking Lot at South Ruimveldt Shopping Plazza. It is suspected that he might have been picked up by the same vehicle that transported them to the scene.
Wrayâs badge with the position, Research Assistant was hanging inside of the vehicle.
His cousin, Sanders, was said to be employed as a machine operator with one of the photo studios in Georgetown.
Haynes on the other hand worked in the support department at the bank. He assisted various departments.
Need for moneyâĶ
Kaieteur News was informed that Wray wanted to travel overseas recently to see his girlfriend but could not afford it. He had asked a number of persons for a part time job where he could have made some extra money.
Another language
Those who were trapped inside the bank said that the men spoke in another language. Some even assumed that the bandits might have been foreigners but this newspaper later confirmed that Wray studied Chinese and might have taught his accomplices a thing or two.
Shock, disbelief and angerâĶ
Haynesâs colleagues were in shock when they found out that he was the one who went into the bank. They described him as a quiet and soft spoken young man who was always willing to assist.
âYou would ask him to go and buy a food for you and he would do it without saying anything. Thatâs how cool he was and he was not a rude person,â a staffer said.
Even the vendors could not believe what they were seeing when the police grabbed the 24-year-old from the market.
âThat bai, quiet and mannerly. He does always be in the market and he always come to buy something and support us so I donât know what happened,â a vendor said.
Meanwhile, the bankâs Managing Director, Richard Sammy, said that âour greatest concern at this point rests upon the safety and well-being of our staff and customers. We have initiated trauma assistance processes for staff and shall continue to work with law enforcement officials in their investigations.â

Remanded to prison: Akeem Rajkumar
A 27-year-old mason of Lot 62 Leopold Street, Georgetown, who was shot in the foot by police after he attempted to disarm an officer, was remanded to prison, yesterday, after he appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore in the Georgetown Magistratesâ Courts.
Akeem Rajkumar denied the first charge which alleged that on June 27, last, at Leopold and Cross Streets, Georgetown, while armed with a gun, he robbed Dexter France of one haversack containing a pair of Timberland boots, nine and a half penny weights raw gold, and $44,000 in cash as well as a quantity of clothing.
It was further alleged that on the same day in question at Leopold and Cross Streets, he had in his possession 50 grams of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
Rajkumar pleaded not guilty to both charges after they were read to him by the magistrate.
Police Prosecutor Simone Payne objected to bail being granted to the defendant on both matters citing the serious nature of the offense. The penalty the charge attracts, the nature and prevalence of the matters and the fact that a gun was used to rob the virtual complainant were among the reasons cited.
The prosecutor told the court that Rajkumar was shot in his left knee on the day in question after he attempted to disarm a police rank that went to a shop in Leopold Street after receiving information.
The prosecution added that a search was conducted on the defendant and a quantity of leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be narcotics where found in his right side pants pocket.
The prosecutor further informed the court that Rajkumar was wanted by the police for a series of robberies.
Rajkumar was then cautioned by the police, told of the offence and arrested and taken to the Brickdam Police Station.
The prosecutionâs objection to bail was upheld by the magistrate and the defendant was remanded to prison. He will make his next court appearance on July 26.

Samuel said that he tried talking to Prowell and advised that he be friendly with the people in the area, since it was lonely. âHe would come over very aggressive and I talked to him many times about this. This murder has to be vendetta-driven.â

The teenager who is now in police custody for the murder of Deonarine âBabaâ Laljit,
Dead: Deonarine Laljit
a taxi driver of No.72 Village, allegedly killed his neighbour over continuous taunts about his sister. This is according to the father of the accused.
Kaieteur News was told that the accused, whose eldest sister lived next door to Laljit, had separated from her husband sometime ago and migrated. However, according to the father, his teenage son came home a few months ago and complained that Laljit was teasing him about his sisterâs personal problems.
âHe come home and told his mother that the man keep teasing he âbout he sister divorce and wha does go on in she house,â the father of the 14-year-old said.
He stressed that his son would complain that Laljit would insult him whenever he travels with him, doing so in the presence of other passengers.
The ladâs father is of the opinion that his son probably felt overwhelmed and frustrated with the teasing and that spurred him to resort to such an act to defend his sister, an act he said is no excuse to do what he did.
The man told this publication that his son has never had brushes with the law and is usually at home on his computer or assisting with chores when he (father) is out at sea.
âIt is unbelievable what he did, but I donât know my sonâs mind,â the distraught father said. He explained that his son dropped out of the Line Path Secondary School because he was not doing well academically. However, he wanted to enroll at the Roadside Baptist Church for vocational classes when he turned 15.
He expressed his hope that his son will learn from his mistakes and reckless decisions made that cost him his freedom.
Meanwhile, a post mortem examination revealed that Laljit died of shock and haemorrhage with a stab wound to the neck.
The file for the case has since been completed and sent for advice. This was confirmed by the Divisional Commander Ian Amsterdam. The young man is expected to face the courts sometime next week.
Deonarine Laljit was stabbed to the neck and left to die by the 14-year-old on Wednesday.
After stabbing the taxi driver in his car, the teen fled the scene and hid in an abandoned house. He was eventually nabbed by ranks and taken into custody.
Laljit succumbed to his injury after he collapsed at the gate of a villager. He was later rushed to the Skeldon Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The murder weapon has since been recovered.

â One nabbed while tying elderly woman; stroke-victim brutalized
Four armed bandits yesterday threatened to put a nine-month-old baby in a freezer, if their
Shivindra Sahadeo and his wife, Shamdai with their granddaughter.
demands were not met, when they gained entry into a house at Lot 1940 Section C Block X, Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD). This was around 10:15 hrs.
The menâthree armed with guns and one with a cutlass âtortured 65-year-old Shivindra Sahadeo and his wife, Shamdai Sahadeo, when they scaled the back fence of the yard and used a table to climb into the back verandah of the house. They threatened to put little Kaylee Jaisingh in the freezer if her grandparents did not give up their valuables.
During the 20-minute ordeal, Shivindra Sahadeo, who suffers from a stroke, was beaten and kicked about the body. The men did not spare his wifeâthey dragged her by the hair and kicked her as she lay on the floor.
While one of the robbers was tying the elderly woman, the police responded after receiving a call from a neighbour, and arrested him. His three accomplices managed to jump off the verandah and escape in a waiting car.
The trio carted off a laptop, jewellery and money.
One of the rooms that the men ransacked.
Deolok Jaisingh, who operates a Spare Parts establishment in the neighbouring village, said that he had just left home when the men gained entry to his home.
According to Jaisingh, when the bandits entered his home, his father-in-law was in a hammock in the front verandah.
âThey went and dragged him out and pulled him into the house and asked for money, so my father-in-law told them that he is a pensioner and he didnât have any money, and they started beating him and kicking him about his body,â Jaisingh related.
He further explained that while the men were attacking Shivindra, his mother-in-law heard and ran to the verandah, screaming for thief, but no one heard, since a neighbour was playing music.
Additionally, most of the neighbours were not at home, as some had gone to work, while the others were attending their childrenâs graduation.
âThey pulled her in and started beating her too and they picked up my baby from the play pen and threatened to put her in the freezer,â Jaisingh said.
Kaieteur News was informed that when the bandits scaled the victimâs fence, a nearby resident saw and called the police.
As the men were searching the house, the police responded and knocked on the door.
âWhen they (bandits) realized it was the police, three of them ran, but (maybe) the fourth one didnât hear (and continued tying the elderly woman) so the police broke the door and arrested him while he was tying my mother-in-law,â Jaisingh said.
The bandit who was held was caught with the elderly womanâs costume jewellery in his pocket and three bags with valuables he had packed to take out. He is currently at the Diamond Police Station being questioned.

him to borrow $3000 to visit the doctor.
Andrea Brummell, of Lot 465 North East La Penitence, Georgetown suffers from high blood pressure and needed money to visit the doctor.
The mother of five reportedly asked her partner to loan her the cash until she received her salary the following day.

From her hospital bed, the security guard noted that as she was about to get ready, she felt sick and asked her partner to take her to the hospitalâthe man agreed.
It was at the hospital that she discovered she was stabbedâtwo wounds to the leg, once to the buttocks and one to the spine. There were also black and blue marks on her body.
