A 25-year-old teacher was remanded to prison on Friday for possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking when she appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Pysiffia Boodram, a mother of two of Public Road, Ruimveldt, faced Senior Magistrate Leron Daly to answer to the charge of Possession of Narcotics for the purpose of trafficking, contrary to Section 5 (1) (a) (i) of the Narcotic Drug and Psychotropic Substance (Control) Act Chapter 10:10.
According to police, ranks went to Boodram’s home, where they informed her that they had received information about narcotics being stored at her residence. As a result, they requested to search the premises.
During the search, they discovered a padlocked bedroom on the upper floor. Boodram was ordered to open the room, and upon entering, police found 11 transparent Ziploc bags containing a quantity of leaves, seeds, and stems of cannabis, amounting to 3015 grams.
Boodram was informed of the alleged offense, cautioned, and arrested. Despite her attorney’s plea, citing her two children aged 6 months and one year, bail was denied. Boodram is scheduled to return to court on June 28. (G9)
