Merchant, father, son remanded to Dodds despite leniency pleas
Article by February 18, 2021
Breaches of COVID-19 rules are getting worse Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes declared Wednesday as he remanded three remorseful men – a shopkeeper and a father and son – to Her Majesty’s Prison Dodds in a bid to send a clear message that the court has taken a hardline stance on lawbreakers.
The trio who appeared in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court on two separate cases began spending 28 days at the St Philip facility to await sentencing, their pleas for leniency falling on deaf ears.
“Can’t be doing that level of recklessness in a country that is terrified,” Weekes said to merchant Hamenauth Sarnedranauth after the Crown detailed his crime in court.
