Twenty-two-year-old Akesh Pechia, aka Loogoo, of No. 55 Village Corentyne, Berbice, was on Friday remanded to prison by Magistrate Alex Moore on armed robbery and break-and-enter charges.
Appearing before the Magistrate at the No. 51 Village Magistrate’s Court, Pechia was not required to plead to the indictable charge, which accused him of breaking into the house of David Mallaya of No. 50 Village, Corentyne, Berbice and stealing several items therefrom.
In addition, he is accused of robbing Keshwar Singh, 57, of No. 48 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
Pechia is expected to make his next court appearance on October 13, 2021. He was apprehended on Thursday, and rearrested after he reportedly escaped while in custody at the No. 51 Police Station.
The Police had launched a manhunt for him, and he was eventually arrested late on Thursday evening at Hazel Street, Springlands, Corriverton, Berbice.
