A 61-year-old house development planner was yesterday remanded to prison after appearing before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton on four charges of fraud.
The first charge against Fazil Ramzan is that between June 30, 2009 and December 24, 2009, he obtained by false pretence $2M from Albert Grant, purporting to show that he was in a position to build and make available a complete 2-bedroom house at Sara Johanna, East Bank Demerara, within six months. It is also alleged that the accused committed three similar offences, obtaining by false pretence $460,000 from Norma Cartwright, $500,000 from Latisha Zonat, and $423,500 from Edwin Clarke, on December 4, 2008, July 9 and January 27, 2010, and July 3, 2008, respectively.
Ramzan was not required to plead to the indictable
