Reisha Twana Browne-Caesar, wife of Minister of Agriculture Saboto Caesar, who was allegedly robbed by five men at her Cedars home in 2018, has opted not to offer any evidence against the alleged assailants.
On Wednesday, at the Kingstown Magistrate’s Court, where a preliminary inquiry was scheduled to take place, Browne-Caesar told the court that she was not proceeding against the accused men.
In keeping with the standard procedure, Senior Prosecutor Adolphus Delplesche asked Browne-Caesar if she had come to the decision of her own free will and she said yes.
The prosecutor further asked Browne-Caesar, a physician, if she had forgiven her alleged assailants and she said no, but that she was not proceeding any further with the case.
The prosecution then withdrew the charge against the men.
Suspended police officer Ettian Charles, 34, who was in April convicted of conspiracy to burglarise the Postal Corporation, along with Elroy Rogers, 28, of New Montrose, Glenville Harry, 36, of Vermont and Rocuan Robinson, 31, of Campden Park, were charged in connection with the Sept. 15, 2018 robbery.
The Crown had alleged that the men, being armed with a gun, robbed Browne-Caesar of a quantity of items valued EC$10,350.50 and other documents.
On July 1, Charles was discharged on a charge that between Aug. 31, and Sept. 1, 2018 at Arnos Vale, he murdered Rodney George, a 50-year-old security guard of Victoria Village.
George’s body was found at GEC Auto Supplies Ltd., after an overnight shift, with multiple stab wounds about the neck.
Harry, Ollivierre, and Ulric “Chucky” Hanson are still subjects of that preliminary inquiry.
The men have a number of other charges before the court, including for armed robbery.

Make no sense..y made any arrest?
Wait a minute, on what grounds did the police arrest and charge these [men]? On simply the word of the Minister’s wife?
I understand the lady is the key witness but you mean to say the prosecution have no other piece of evidence to support their case, nothing at all?
A strange one, this case.
Of course she won’t pursue. Charges. Her husband is part of the government that is enslaving the people . they have to steal , rob and kill in order to eat. In the meantime govetnment building bigger prison.to house young people. Educated but destitute.they fall into the catogary of unsuitable . this government has lost its way, time for them to go. Show them the door.just saying .
I was supporting your Husband for PM until today…cyar have a weak first lady…nope
This is setting a very bad precedent. How can you a person supposedly of the upper class reneged on prosecuting someone who allegedly involved in assault and battery. There is something. In the motor besides the pestle. Please come clean .Was. a deal made?
This is putting the husband in a very ackward position. If he cannot defend his wife, would he be able to stand up.for the nation If he becomes PM? I can no see why Camillo may succeed his father. Words as spineless comes to.my mind, it is reasonable to belive that he had an I’m put with respect to the decision taken.
