Almost a year after he escaped from the Mayaro Magistrate’s Court, Azmon Alexander re-appeared in the court yesterday handcuffed and heavily guarded by armed policemen. Alexander, 29, was captured in November by the Northern Division Task Force at Lennox Yearwood Boulevard, Malabar after an extensive manhunt for him in connection with the murder and kidnapping of a Brasso Seco family.
Arising out of that incident, Alexander was charged with over 30 offences, including the murders of Felix Martinez, 52; Irma Rampersad, 49; and Shania Amoroso, 18 months old. When he appeared before Mayaro Senior Magistrate Rajendra Rambachan, however, the charge of escaping legal custody from the Mayaro Court on January 31 was read to him.
Alexander has over 30 pending matters for kidnapping and robbery in that court. Asked by the magistrate if he had an attorney, Alexander said he did not but intends to retain one.
He was then remanded into custody and the matter adjourned to January 26.
