Man jailed on
break and enter, robbery charges
In
addition, he has to serve one year on a charge of robbery under arms.
Marshall was also ordered to pay a fine of $5,000 with an alternative
of four months on another larceny charge. Marshall,
34, (no given address) is alleged to have stolen from the property of
Peter Ross at McDoom, East Bank Demerara on December 30, 2001, one
wrist watch, a torch light, a bottle of skin cream and a quantity of
mechanical tools all valued at $847,000. On
May 21, last, Marshall allegedly robbed Matha
Persaud
of $7,000 also at McDoom, East Bank Demerara. The
particulars of the offence stated that Persaud, the owner of a
minibus, stopped in McDoom to effect some repairs to his vehicle. He
later left for the Esso Gas Station in the same area. Upon his return,
he was approached by the defendant, who, armed with a cutlass, pounced
on him and relieved him of $6,000. The two engaged in a scuffle,
during which, Marshall reportedly fired a chop at Persaud and then
relieved him of another $1,000. Meanwhile,
on July 28, the defendant was seen climbing from the fence of George
Walton at McDoom. He later removed a gas bottle from the premises. Marshall
pleaded guilty to all the charges. Magistrate Holder-Allen warned Marshall that the penalty for a life of crime is a stretch of many years behind bars away from the five children he has.
