Alleged mentally-ill man slapped with multiple charges

Raymond Samaroo was on Friday remanded to prison by Georgetown Magistrate Leron Daly after he had appeared in her court to answer six charges made in relation to alleged simple larceny, assault, and damage to property offences.
The Police contend that on July 19 last, in the vicinity of Owen Street, Kitty, Samaroo unlawfully and maliciously damaged a minibus, property of Vidyah Barrack.
They also contend that on the same day and time, he used abusive language towards Barrack.
Moreover, it is contended that while at the Kitty Police Station, Samaroo used abusive and threatening language to Sita Gorsohy, from whom he had allegedly stolen six cases of bottles.
He has further been accused of behaving disorderly while at the Kitty Police Station.
A known character to the Police, Samaroo denied all the allegations made against him, and told the court he is mentally challenged.
The prosecutor objected to Samaroo being placed on bail, citing that Samaroo is a character known to the Police and that he has matters pending in court.
Magistrate Daly upheld the prosecutor’s objections, and remanded Samaroo to prison until August 27, when the matter would again be called.
