– robbery suspect remanded for breaking into several businesses

The owner of two Pitbull dogs that allegedly killed a Corentyne man last week has been granted bail on a manslaughter charge while a man who has been breaking into businesses and stealing has been remanded when they appeared in court on Monday.

Rabindranauth Jaikisson, an auto-electrician attached to GuySuCo Albion Estate appeared at the New Amsterdam Magistrate Court before Magistrate Peter Hugh to answer a manslaughter charge.
It is alleged that on January 16, 2024 at Topoo Village, Corentyne he caused the death of Latchmanen Permaul called ‘Blackboy’.
The 29-year-old dog owner of Ankerville, Port Mourant was not required to plea to the indictable charge.
Police Prosecutor Ravindra Jattan told the court that the accused is making arrangements to settle the matter and did not object to bail.
Bail was set at $250,000 and Jaikisson will return to court on February 21, 2024.
The police had initially reported that the 64-year-old unemployed Permaul of Hampshire, Corentyne, was allegedly mauled to death by three mixed-breed dogs (Pit Bulls) at about 04:00 on January 11.

In a release, the police had stated that Permaul had reportedly left home the previous afternoon and went to a liquor shop in Topoo where he was imbibing.
After leaving the shop in an intoxicated state he was seen lying on the parapet and three Pit Bulls ‘bore out of a fence’ near where the man was lying. The dogs then viciously attacked the man.
The body was examined by the police and what appeared to be dog bites were seen on both legs and the neck. There were also bites on the right hip and right hand.
An autopsy subsequently performed on the body by Government Pathologist Dr Vivekanand Brijmohan gave the cause of death as shock and hemorrhage due to multiple lacerations.
Meanwhile, Delroy Joseph appeared before Magistrate Peter Hugh on two robbery charges.
He is accused of breaking into the business place of Oswall DeFreitas of Rose Hall Town between May 22 and May 23, 2023 and stealing gold jewellery valued at $500,000, a number of cellular phone cards valued at 80,000, a quantity of school bags valued at $200,000, clothing worth $500,000 along with other items and $98,000 cash with a total value of $1.479 million.
