Donetta Rajkumar left the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts a free woman on Thursday after a charge that she stole $195,000 from the home of Minister Simona Broomes, at whose residence she was employed as a housekeeper, was dismissed.
This is according to legal counsel for Rajkumar, Everton Singh-Lammy, who said that he made a submission that the prosecution had disclosed no case to answer, based on the evidence presented, or lack thereof. The submission was upheld.
Consequently, Rajkumar, a mother of three who had pleaded no-guilty to the charge, walked free.
It was alleged that Rajkumar took the money from the Lodge Housing Scheme premises between March 6th, 2019 and March 7th, 2019.
Singh-Lammy had argued that the house has at least six other occupants, while the prosecution had stated that Rajkumar was alone in the house at the time the money was taken, and was the only person with access.
