The uncle who flung his 18-month old niece through a window at Sophia was today committed to stand trial in the High Court after the preliminary inquiry concluded today in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Chief magistrate Ann McLennan committed 19-year-old Sherwin Roberts after the last of 12 witnesses took the stand. The magistrate ruled that from the evidence presented during the PI there was enough evidence to commit him to stand trial in the high court.
September last year at her fathers North Sophia, Georgetown, home little Ronasha Pilgrim was discovered in yard submerged in 18 inches of water and slush. This was after her uncle broke into her father’s house and attempted to relieve her of her earing. The child began crying and the man then flung her through the window. Ronasha was at the time in the house with her two elder siblings. Roberts is said to be a known drug addict.
