PoS man on two kidnapping charges

A Port-of-Spain man appeared before Port-of-Spain Magistrate Ejenny Espinet yesterday charged with kidnapping two women.

Roger St Paul, of Nelson Street, Port-of-Spain is accused of kidnapping and falsely imprisoning Neesha Burke and Josanne Barnum reportedly of the Port-of-Spain area on March 10. St Paul was arrested at his home on Tuesday by officers of the Besson Street Police Station. In his defence, St Paul told the Magistrate, “This is a family matter.” He then informed the court that he would be represented by attorney Gordon Laming. Espinet adjourned the matter to Friday when she will review his criminal record before considering bail.
