Murder accused, Travis Evans called “Short Boss”, who recently pled guilty to charges of armed robbery and rape, was jailed for three years on the robbery charge. The jail term was handed down at the Demerara High Court on Monday.
A total of three years’ imprisonment was handed to Evans on the robbery charge which stated that on October 30, 2010, in the county of Demerara, whilst being armed with a dangerous weapon – a knife – he robbed a woman of G$650,500. Meanwhile, for the second charge, which alleged that he engaged in sexual penetration with a woman without her consent on the same day, the accused will be facing a trial.
This comes after the court was informed that Evans felt as though he did not enter a guilty plea willingly but rather under pressure. As such, Justice Morris-Ramlall struck out the original plea and ordered that he be placed on trial.
The man’s co-accused, John Sampson and Alex Williams, are also expected to face a trial on both charges soon.
Nevertheless, Evans remains on remand for the murders of Gregory “Wayne” Frank and 21-year-old Ronsley Clarke. Both murders reportedly took place in August of 2018.
It was reported that Frank’s body was discovered days after his demise, lying in his Kuru Kururu, Linden-Soesdyke Highway home with visible head injuries.
His entire home was ransacked which indicated that he was killed during a robbery.
On the other hand, Clarke was reportedly shot twice to his body by Evans in full view of his friends. The murder occurred in Sophia while the deceased and his girlfriend were at a party.
