Mark Griffith, who was shot last week during the attempted robbery along the Liliendaal Railway Embankment that left his alleged accomplice dead, was on Monday remanded to prison after being charged with two counts of armed robbery.
Griffith, 25, of Sheet Anchor Village, East Canje Berbice, appeared before Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul in the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court. He was not required to plead to the two indictable charges and was remanded to prison until October 4.
The charges were laid a few days after Griffith was positively identified by a witness during an identification parade as the accomplice of ex-prison officer Trydon Munroe, who was fatally shot during the attempted robbery.
