Two gold miners, Rondel Richardson, 29, and Ronald Barker, 49, are charged with robbery under arms and are remanded to prison after appearing at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court in Guyana. The court proceedings take place on Monday, with the two men jointly charged under Section 222(c) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
Both outlets identify Richardson as being from Craig Village, East Bank Demerara, and Barker as being from South Ruimveldt, Georgetown. Kaieteur News reports that the case is heard before Magistrate Caressa Henry, while the Guyana Chronicle likewise describes the matter as a joint charge of robbery under arms and the men’s remand to custody. The articles do not provide details about the alleged incident or the evidence presented at court.
