Porter who broke into woman’s house “to tek a taste” charged

A Diamond, East Bank Demerara man, who reportedly broke into a woman’s house and told her that he “come to tek a taste” was on Tuesday charged before the Chief Magistrate at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Ravi McTork, 27, of Lot 694 Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara (EBD) denied the allegation, which stated that on July 7, 2018, at Port Kaituma in the North West District, he broke and entered the premises of Shaundell Jagan with intent to commit a felony.
The porter reportedly broke into the woman’s house while she was asleep. After hearing a noise and waking up, Jagan saw the defendant who quieted her and told her that he was there to “tek a taste”.
The woman raised an alarm and the defendant, who she knew from the neighbourhood, was arrested and later charged.
He was however granted bail in the sum of $40,000 and was ordered by Magistrate Ann McLennan to stay 50 feet away from the Virtual Complainant (VC).
McTork will return to the Matthews Ridge Magistrate’s Court on August 7.
