Two of his accomplices were also jointly charged with robbery under arms.

They were represented by Attorney-at-Law Krishendatt Persaud who made an application for bail. Persaud said his clients are not a flight risk and are all fathers. He also asked the court to grant bail in a substantial amount.

Police Prosecutor Inspector, Godfrey Playter, objected to bail on the grounds that a gun was used to carry out the attack and that Tejkumarie Jettoo was severely injured. He also stated that if bail should be granted they might not return to court for a trial.

Bail was refused and they are to make their next court appearance on September 28.

Police investigations revealed that the husband had hired two men to stage a robbery at his home; he planned the attack for the men to beat him and his wife so that she would be afraid and not leave their rocky marriage.

Police were able to crack the case after surveillance footage from the house showed the car that was used in the robbery belonged to a car rental service in the area. They then took the driver of the vehicle into custody and he related what occurred. The Jetoo couple was beaten and tied up by the men hired by her husband.
