Man remanded for beating, raping 60-year-old security guard
A man was yesterday remanded to prison for beating and raping a 60-year-old woman at a Day Care
centre in East Ruimveldt.
Samuel David George, 27, of Lot 8 East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, had to be lifted by police ranks into to the court compound when he pointedly refused to walk on his own. Once in the compound yesterday afternoon, George shouted his innocence loudly, stating that he was wrongfully accused of robbing and raping the woman.
He shouted out for the President, pleading for help, “Granger, Granger, help me”.
He was not required to plead when the charge was read to him by before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan. The prosecution evidence indicated that on March 28, last, at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he robbed his victim of a cellular phone valued $5,000 and $18,000 cash.
The victim, a security guard at the Day Care, is alleged to have been raped twice after a young robber broke into the guard hut.
She was beaten and robbed before being raped by the man around 01:00 hr on the day in question.
Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones successfully opposed bail on gravity of the charge and the fact that he has a pending rape allegation against him. He further mentioned that the defendant gave the police another address— Lot 600 East Ruimveldt.
George who was unrepresented by an Attorney was then remanded and the matter was adjourned to April 14.
With much difficulty, George was placed into the court lock ups by the police.
