Two women were yesterday granted bail after they denied separate perjury charges.
Shiroon Mohatoo, 56, and Sandra O’Riley, were both brought before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown, where the charges were read to them.
The charge read to Mohatoo, of Sideline Dam, La Penitence, stated that on June 24th, 2006, at Georgetown, being the applicant for a grant of Letter of Administration for the administration of the estate of William Persaud, deceased, she knowingly swore to false information in oath of intended Administratrix #620/06.
Mohatoo denied the charge.
Her attorney, Bernard Da Silva, made a request for reasonable bail to be granted to her.
The charge against O’Riley, a teacher, of Middle Road, La Penitence, states that on September 17th, 2008, being the substitute attorney for Marie Ali and Juliet Josephine Sophia De Souza, who were named as executors and Trustees of William Persaud, deceased, she knowingly swore to false information in an affidavit of vesting title.
She also denied the charge against her.
Attorney Glenn Hanoman, in association with Everton Singh-Lammy, represented the accused and requested bail on her behalf.
Police prosecutor Stephen Telford made no objection to bail being granted to the women. Chief Magistrate McLennan subsequently granted the women their release on $20,000 bail each. The matters were later adjourned until February 25th.
