Accused denies $41M robbery after court told of confession

Kenrick Duncan, 24, accused of last month’s $41M armed robbery at Lisa’s General Store, yesterday denied the crime although police say that he confessed.

Duncan, of Lot 256 West Ruimveldt, was arraigned on September 26 at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and at the time was not required to plead to the then indictable charge.

It was alleged that on September 10, at Wellington and Charlotte streets, being in company of others and armed with a gun, he robbed Hu Yu Nan, owner of Lisa’s General Store, of a quantity of foreign currency, electronics and jewellery, which amounted to $41M.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge when he made his second court appearance yesterday,
