Wilfredo Castello

A 29-year-old Venezuelan who allegedly held a knife to a woman’s throat in Mabaruma before robbing her of her money was yesterday remanded to prison.

Wilfredo Castello denied a charge, which stated that on October 19, at Thomas Hill, Mabaruma, North West District, while being armed with a knife, he robbed Sharon Cartier of $30,000.

The charge was read by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court One.
