18 months’ jail for armed robbery convict

An 18-month prison sentence has been imposed by Suddie Magistrate Esther Sam on
Collin Henry, also called “Fatboy”, a 19-year-old labourer of Jib Public Road, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), who has been convicted of armed robbery committed on 68-year-old Hassan Ali, a pensioner and butcher who lives a few lots away from Henry.
On August 28, 2021, while armed with a dangerous weapon, Henry robbed Hassan Ali of $300,000 in cash, an XR motorcycle valued at $500,000, a cellular phone valued at $32,000, and a wristwatch valued at $3,500, all totalling $835,500.
After reviewing the evidence in the matter, Magistrate Sam on Thursday found Henry guilty as charged, and consequently imposed the custodial sentence on him.
