Kidnap accused charged with failing to give info in Dookie case

One of the three men, who had been charged with the kidnapping of the daughter of Pike Street businessman Beharry ‘Natoo’ Dookie last year, yesterday reappeared in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court charged with failing to give information to the police in relation to the matter.

Twenty-two-year-old Tyrone Solomon of 3340 Jacksonville, North Ruimveldt was not required to enter a plea to the indictable charge when acting chief magistrate Melissa Robertson read it to him.

The charge states that between August 26 and 27 last year, being aware that Rorhema Dookie had been kidnapped at Stevedore Squatting Area, East La Penitence, he failed to gave that information to the police therefore disregarding the Law.

His lawyer Mark Waldron had requested that the matter be transferred to Court Two for an early date since the Preliminary Inquiry into the kidnapping is currently ongoing.

However, he was informed by Prosecutor Stephen Telford that that matter had already been adjourned in Court Two yesterday morning. He had requested that this new matter also be transferred to the said court for the same day.

The magistrate then granted the prosecutor his request by ordering that the matter be transferred to Court Two.

Solomon was charged last year along with two others for the kidnapping and they were all remanded to prison.

The facts of that charge state that between August 28 and 29 at Stevedore Housing Scheme Squatting Area, East La Penitence, Solomon, France Prince, a 23-year-old mechanic, of Lot 3 East La Penitence and Sivon Warner, 27, of Tucville Government Ground unlawfully confined Rorhema Dookie with intent to hold her for ransom of $40 million.

Reports are that Dookie had just exited a school on Thomas Street, North Cummingsburg to meet her waiting boyfriend, Joel Oudkerk, when the kidnappers struck. They hit the young man twice in his head and grabbed Dookie.
