Attempted murder accused arraigned with fraud charges

Chatterpaul Singh, known as Kevin Singh, was on Friday arraigned before Georgetown Magistrate Leron Daly on two counts of fraud, both of which he has denied.
It is alleged that on April 23, 2018, while in the vicinity of Georgetown, having received $240,000 for or on account of Richard Singh, Chatterpaul Singh fraudulently converted same to his own use and benefit.
It is also alleged that on March 24, 2018, in Georgetown, having received $600,000 for or on account of Richard Singh, he fraudulently converted same to his own use and benefit.
Singh’s attorney told the court that his client was employed with the virtual complainant for over nine months and never got paid.
The Police prosecutor did not object to the accused being placed on bail, and the magistrate placed Chatterpaul Singh on bail in the sum of $100,000 on each count. The matter was adjourned to July 13, 2018.
The father of two had been placed before the courts in July last on a charge of wounding Chatanand Persaud with intent to murder him.
