Eighteen-year-old Martin King of East Ruimveldt was recently remanded to prison after he was charged with robbing his acquaintance.
The particulars of the offence states that King on March 18th at Avenue of the Republic, while in company of others, robbed a 17-year-old of a Sam-sung Galaxy A10 cellphone worth $15,000 and a gold chain valued $120,000. The youth was not required to enter a plea. The matter, which was held in Court Three of the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, alleges that King, while in the company of ten other young men, assaulted the teen and his 13-year-old brother robbing them of their items.
Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus asked the prosecutor if she will be objecting to bail to which she replied in the positive. According to the prosecutor, King lives in the same area with the virtual complainant and they are known to each other since they grew up together. She said that if he [King] is to be granted bail, he may want to interfere with the teen and family members. Principal Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus therefore remanded the youth to prison and adjourned the matter until April 24th.
