A Middle Road man, charged with armed robbery and escaping lawful custody, blamed his predicament on a family dispute over land when he appeared before a city court yesterday.
Theodore King, 41, of 222 Sideline Dam, Middle Road, placed blame on his sister, whom he accused of having him arrested so she could get her hands on land left to him by their now deceased mother.
King, who indicated to the court that he was recently released from prison, affirmed his innocence to the Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan. “I is a changed man, I turn a Muslim now, your worship. I change,” he said, even after he pleaded “guilty with explanation” to the charges of armed robbery and escaping from lawful custody.
