Family feud in Magistrates’ Court over stolen money
Charles Skeet
A messenger who pleaded guilty today to stealing money from his nephew, has until the end of the month to pay six hundred dollars, or in default he will spend five behind bars. Forty eight year old Charles Skeet, admitted to swindling his nephew, Melvin Hewlett, of seven hundred dollars. The complainant, a teacher by profession, reported that he gave his uncle the money to pay towards a credit union loan for him but instead, Skeet had other plans for the money. Skeet was lucky to escape a prison sentence because this was his first offense.
