Accused in robbery, assault on biker freed after victim asks court to dismiss case

Two men accused of robbing and assaulting a motorcyclist have walked free as the victim asked a city court to dismiss the charge.

The two men charged were 53-year-old Khemraj Shaffie, of Hadfield Street, Lodge, Georgetown, and 21-year-old Daniel John, a labourer of West Front Road, West Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, Georgetown. The men, who appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

However, the victim requested that no further action be taken regarding the matter and that his motorcycle be returned to him. As a result, the case was dismissed.
