Man, woman charged with abduction of Bhena’s Footwear employee

Viola Morrison, 48, and Dexter John, 34, both pleaded not guilty to the charge of abduction. It is alleged that on Monday, May 4 at Regent Street, Georgetown, they abducted Xanier Waaldijk, causing him to be wrongfully restrained.

The prosecution revealed that the victim was about to enter his place of work when he was confronted by an identifiable man who pushed him into the vehicle and speed off; however later that afternoon he was released unhurt.

Bail was not objected to by Police Prosecutor Corporal Bharrat Mangru, despite the serious nature of the offence. The matter was adjourned and the duo will return to court on June 1.
