The trial of the five men accused of the robbery of Land Court Judge Nicola Pierre and her family was adjourned yesterday due to the absence of Special Prosecutor Nigel Hughes.
The trial of Premnauth Samaroo, Daymeion Millington, Warren McKenzie, Nicholas Narine and Anthony David was due to continue yesterday before Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court. However, Hughes was unable to attend the hearing. The court heard that the attorney had gone to Whim, East Berbice Corentyne, for another matter and was unable to make it back in time for the resumption.
On the request of Hughes, through his assistant, who was present in court yesterday, an application was made for an adjournment, which was granted.
The trial is now scheduled to continue on January 25, 2016, at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court.
The five accused are charged with robbing the judge and her husband, Mohamed Chan, as well as the unloading of a loaded a gun at security guard Ron Peters on July 9, 2015.
