Two charged with sexual assault on old man
TWO men, Edrick Adams nicknamed ‘Sanitary’, 38, and Herman Persaud alias ‘Shine Goose’, 26, have been charged with buggering an 80-year-old man.

The accused (no addresses given) yesterday appeared before Magistrate Geeta Chandan at Reliance Court, Canje, but were not required to plead to the indictable charge.
