A 29-year-old barber of 111 Miles, Mahdia in Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) found himself in hot water before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday morning, for allegedly spending some 0,000 cash belonging to someone else.
Unrepresented by legal counsel, the defendant, Keshawn Shu, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan charged for fraudulently converting the said money to his own use and benefit after receiving same from the Virtual Complainant, Ellon Hamilton, on August 25, 2017 in the mining town of Mahdia.
Police Prosecutor Arvin Moore did not object to bail but rather suggested that it be granted in a substantial sum. Accordingly, the Chief Magistrate was inclined to set bail at 0,000 and had the matter transferred to the Mahdia Magistrate’s Court for January 16, 2018.
Conditions of bail stipulate the accused is to report to the Mahdia Police Station once per week pending the outcome of the trial.
