Facts presented to the court revealed that on the day in question, GRA Clerk Shirmattie Arjune was attending to Joseph when she was given the illegitimate documents.
Upon checking same, the Clerk noticed that the said vehicle was not registered to Killkenny, but to Lilian Akeung of Lot 117 Cane View Avenue, South Ruimveldt Gardens.
Upon checking the system to authenticate the certificate, the registration and chassis numbers corresponded with vehicle number PRR 6691, a vehicle registered to Yvotte Fiedkou of Lot 221 First Avenue, La Parfaite Harmonie West Bank Demerara.
The vehicle was allegedly stolen in 2014. However, Joseph was also accused of fraudulently imitating the identification mark on motor vehicle PLL 7715 on May 17, 2018.
Joseph denied both charges after it was read to him. The matter was adjourned until June 8.
