addition, he has to serve one year on a charge of robbery under arms.
Marshall was also ordered to pay a fine of $5,000 with an alternative of
four months on another larceny charge.
Marshall, 34, (no given address) is alleged to have stolen from the
property of Peter Ross at McDoom, East Bank Demerara on December 30, 2001,
one wrist watch, a torch light, a bottle of skin cream and a quantity of
mechanical tools all valued at $847,000.
On May
21, last, Marshall allegedly robbed Matha
Persaud of $7,000 also at McDoom, East Bank Demerara.
The
particulars of the offence stated that Persaud, the owner of a minibus,
stopped in McDoom to effect some repairs to his vehicle. He later left for
the Esso Gas Station in the same area. Upon his return, he was approached
by the defendant, who, armed with a cutlass, pounced on him and relieved
him of $6,000. The two engaged in a scuffle, during which, Marshall
reportedly fired a chop at Persaud and then relieved him of another
$1,000.
Meanwhile, on July 28, the defendant was seen climbing from the
fence of George Walton at McDoom. He later removed a gas bottle from the
premises.
Marshall
pleaded guilty to all the charges.
Magistrate Holder-Allen warned Marshall that the penalty for a life of crime is a stretch of many years behind bars away from the five children he has.
