BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – AKIEL WARNER and Glenville Isaac have both been found guilty for two counts of robbery and are expected to be sentenced on Oct. 27.
Both robberies occurred on Station Street, Old Road on November 20, 2010.
The prosecution team was led by the Director of Public Prosecution, Paulina Hendrickson who proved that Warner and Isaac, armed with a bottle and knife, robbed Le-jorne Johnson and his friend Terrance Francis.
The first count of robbery was committed against Johnson when they allegedly robbed him of EC$30 and a Motorola phone, all to the value of EC$680.
In terms of the second count, it is alleged that the twosome then robbed Francis of EC$350 and his blackberry phone, to the total value of EC$1,100.
According to the evidence, both Johnson and Francis were in Old Road and had just bought something to eat when they were approached by both accused.
After they were robbed by the accused, they were told to leave Old Road and not go to the police. Warner and Isaac also made sure Johnson and Francis did not go to the police by following them to catch a bus.
Meanwhile, the jury will soon be deliberating in the matter of a man facing rape charges.
It is alleged that the man allegedly raped a female on September 1, 2010 in Old Road.
