Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle yesterday remanded to prison a 22-year-old man who allegedly jumped through the window of a bus to freedom while he was being escorted to court.
Dwayne ‘Bully’ Marks, of Two Miles Bartica, was not required to plead to a charge of escaping lawful custody when it was read to him in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
It is alleged that on July 12, 2007, at De Kenderen, West Bank Demerara, being in lawful custody as a remand prisoner on a criminal charge, Marks escaped.
Reports are that on the said day, Marks was being escorted to the Camp Street prison, in a 26-seater minibus, after being charged with three counts of break and enter and larceny and armed robbery. Recently, he was recaptured at Bartica.
Marks was ordered to appear at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court on January 21.
