Male sex workers remanded for robbing elderly man
Two male sex workers who were recently charged for robbing two Presidential Guards with a chopper,
were yesterday back before a City Magistrate to answer to another robbery charge.
Twenty-one-year-old Kevin Forrester of Beterverwagting, Side Line Dam, East Coast Demerara; and Godfrey Cox, 19 of High Street, Georgetown, appeared before Principal Magistrate, Judy Latchman in the Magistrates’ Courts.
The duo denied the charge which alleged that on October 24, last, at Croal Street, they robbed Victor Bess of $84,000 and US$370 and at the same time used personal violence against him.
Police Prosecutor, Shawn Gonsalves objected to bail being granted to the duo citing the serious nature and prevalence of the offence.
The prosecutor also told the court that it was while the two defendants were out on bail for a similar offence that they committed a new offence.
The Prosecutor added that if bail is granted to the defendants they would not return to court for the trial.
The prosecutor’s objection was upheld by the magistrate and both men were remanded to prison. They were instructed to make their next court appearance on November 20.
A few months ago, the same duo was charged for allegedly robbing two Presidential Guards with a chopper. Particulars of the charge alleged that on July 19, 2017 at Main Street, Georgetown, the duo while armed with a chopper, robbed Nicolai Reddie of a Samsung cellphone valued $54,000 and $800 cash.
It is further alleged that on the same day and location, they robbed Akeem Haroon of a Samsung cellphone valued $60,000 and $400 cash.
The duo denied the charge when it was read to them. They were both released on $25,000 bail by Senior Magistrate, Fabayo Azore.
