The man accused of brutally raping an elderly nun was formally arraigned in a magistrate\u2019s court yesterday.<\/p>\n
Latterrieo Duncanson, 29, of Tarpum Bay, Eleuthera, is accused of breaking into the Roman Catholic Convent in Rock Sound, Eleuthera, sometime between 10:30 p.m. on November 5 and 12:35 a.m. on November 6.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that during that time, Duncanson, who was allegedly armed with a knife, robbed the elderly woman of $90 and a ring worth $500.<\/p>\n
While at the convent Duncanson allegedly forced the woman to have sex with him. According to police reports, before he left he told her not to contact the police.<\/p>\n
Magistrate Carolita Bethell explained that the rape charge could not be heard in the magistrate\u2019s court. She said the prosecutor will either conduct a preliminary hearing to determine if there is sufficient evidence for the matter to go to the Supreme Court or proceed by way of a voluntary bill of indictment, which would fast track the case to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
Bethell said because of the seriousness of the case, she could not grant him bail for the burglary or armed robbery charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
