A twenty-two-year-old West Ruimveldt man who allegedly raped a woman was remanded to prison on Tuesday when he appeared before Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Kwesi Jones of 468 West Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, who allegedly raped a 22-year-old woman at his home, was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
It is alleged that on October 2, Jones forced the woman into the house while she was waiting outside for one of his relatives and he raped her after threatening her with a knife.
The woman later escaped and reported the incident at the police station. Jones was subsequently arrested and kept in police custody since then.
The prosecution objected to bail.
Magistrate Robertson then ordered that Jones be remanded to prison until October 15.
This Animal Plague is becoming more prevalent in our Society.
This RAPIST SHOULD BE JAILED AND BE CASTIGATED WITH 25 CAT-NINE…
You’ve branded him as an Animal Plague and rapist already. He was charged for ALLEGEDLY raping the 22 year old woman. What happen to until proven guilty?
Well said billip. This “alleged rapist” happens to be my friend.The allegations made against this guy is just a vendetta. I’m appalled that a young man’s life got tarnished.
ray and Billip —–we have heard that line before —–this young man should be tried and once found guilty –should be given the maximun penalty ——they are scourges to society . They are “sick ” individuals . Ray –you need to hire a good lawyer —or else you may never see your friend for a long time .
What is it with this ‘rape’ business here recently? Is it really happening this way or are the laws being manipulated for people’s vendettas as one blogger here suggests.
We never get the full facts here as Law enforcement gets during their investigations so sometimes we are prone to making erroneous judgements. Nonetheless – whenever these charges are proven then the penalties should befit the crimes!
Women should be allowed to walk freely without fear in Guyana.
I hope he get de max.
How can women escape this when you got men like Teacher Leon Jameson Suseran saying that women invites rape and sexual abuse ” coz of the way they are dressed “….Imagine this rubbish garbage came from a man who is a Teacher……Women must be allowed to dress and walk freely in any society…Men just dont get it….And if men dont get this…Then when they rape and or molest women and girls the justice system should ensure that MEN GET IT……
something just dont add up here , the storey stated that this individual were waiting on the family member og the said home , when this incident accored did any one else heard he crimeing for help or rape , was their and medical paper or examation dont on the said person , before they were being lead into coustady i am not judgeing any one of them but i stronglyfeel some agreement went down roung and their it is rape have be mensioning in the matter.
It doesn’t matter Guyana Judiciary System is flawed – it has a right to protect the victim but one is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. Rape is a degrading, morally wrong and emotionally scaring crime, i have a sister and i would not wish that upon a woman or man in these time. Nevertheless to thrown the book at someone who has been accused and not proven guilty is WRONG. That’s just my opinion…
Our legal system must protect women from sexual predators. But we cannot condemn our citizens without a fair and speedy trial. Let the justice system decide on who is guilty and the lawmakers decide on punishment that can really be a deterrent.
Sr billp;
I’ve branded the “4 cases of rape this week” alone as Animal Plague.
Without sufficient evidence he would not have been charged indictable.
