The Carolan Lynch firearm and ammunition matter continued last Friday before Magistrate Gordon Gilhuys in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court with testimony from police inspector Cassandra Anthony.
Anthony, who is attached to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and the second witness to take the stand in the case, testified about being present when the illegal items were allegedly found.
After being led in evidence by police prosecutor Robert Tyndall, she was cross-examined by attorney-at-law Mark Waldron, one of the lawyers representing Lynch.
Lynch is accused of having four 9mm magazines, one Beretta automatic pistol and 120 rounds of 9mm ammunition at her Eping Avenue, Bel Air home in November 2006.
She faced those unlawful possession charges with her now dead husband, Farouk Razac, the boss of Swiss House Cambio. When they had made their initial court appearance, they were released on $1 million bail each. Razac was murdered last May and Lynch now faces the charges alone.
During last Friday’s proceedings, the beauty queen, who was freed of her husband’s murder by Magistrate Gilhuys last December, was present in court.
The raid on Lynch’s property was said to have followed an earlier search conducted on a house in North Ruimveldt where Rhonda Gomes, an associate of Razac, was living.
Police found an assortment of weapons and cocaine at that house. The woman pleaded guilty to several charges brought against her stemming from the discoveries and was sentenced to three years imprisonment in December 2006.
The case will continue on June 5 when a new witness is expected to take the stand.
