He will be surely missed.... In the courts. RIP hope your in a better place.
Over the past decade, Selwyn "Robocop" Alexis has been in and out of prison charged with various offences including kidnapping, extortion, and perverting the course of public justice. However, most of those matters were dismissed.
Following are some of those cases:
May 2002
Charge: Extortion. Case dismissed against him by a Chaguanas magistrate after the alleged victim, Deonanan Ramdial, said he did not know Alexis. He was charged by a member of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad (AKS) with demanding $5,000 from Ramdial by threats and menaces between May 11 and May 25, 2002.
September 2003
A San Fernando Magistrate freed Alexis of the February 23 kidnapping of San Fernando businessman Sarran Kissoondan, after the State's main witness, Kevin Richards, was found in a Longdenville pond wrapped in a black
garbage bag and weighted down with rocks.
November 2007
A nine-member jury found Alexis and three other men not guilty of kidnapping Sangre Grande jeweller Henry Francis in 2002 after the State witness refused to give evidence.
June 2008
Alexis, Kevon Nurse, Justice of the Peace Stephen Young and van driver Kenneth Martin were all committed to stand trial at the High Court for attempting to pervert the course of public justice. They were charged with attempting to deter John from giving evidence in the kidnapping of Francis during the period April 24 and September 27, 2007.
July 2009
Alexis and two other men charged with kidnapping Imtiaz Khan, an employee of Ghany Distribution and Marketing Ltd at Industrial Lane, Champ Fleurs. They were also charged with armed robbery, being in possession of a stolen seven-tonne truck valued at $575,000, and $2.6 million worth of cigarettes, which also belonged to Ghany Distribution and Marketing Ltd. In March 2010 all three were found not guilty by Magistrate Ramraj Harripersad in the Tunapuna Court after defence attorney Wayne Sturge argued that the officer who laid the charges admitted under cross-examination that he did not have enough evidence to charge the men and that he only did so based on orders from his seniors.
Sept 2010
Alexis was ordered to pay a $800 fine and compensation of $2000 by Magistrate Avason Quinlan in the Chaguanas Third Court after Alexis was found guilty of assaulting PCs Nigel Duncan, Andy Mohammed, Kevin Richards and Bijay Gangaram on September 8, 2008 in the execution of their duty.
November 2010
Alexis and his wife Bernadette Alexis are charged with receiving four arc welders between September 14 and November 9, 2010 valued at $8,800 knowing them to be stolen. The matter is still on-going before a Chaguanas Magistrate.
