Robbery with violence accused remanded

Magistrate Priya Beharry remanded to prison a man accused of robbery with violence when he on Tuesday appeared to answer to the charge in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

The virtual complainant did not attend court.

Pinder, who appeared unrepresented, was ordered to return to court on Tuesday.
