Barry Robinson robs Belize City nurse

And a parolee is facing the possibility losing his freedom and that’s because thirty-one year old Barry Robinson allegedly attacked and robbed a nurse on Monday night. Bernadine Grinage, the wife of Dr. Egbert Grinage, was walking on Eyre Street at around eight p.m. when she was ambushed and hit in the head with a blunt object. Grinage fell to ground and her attacker made off with her purse, which contained almost two thousand dollars in valuables. Robinson was detained about an hour later with Grinage’s cell phone in his possession. When he appeared before Magistrate Sharon Frazer this morning, Robinson pleaded not guilty to a charge of Robbery. The prosecution did not object to bail, but it was noted that the accused is on parole. Magistrate Frazer decided to grant him bail of four thousand dollars, which he met by three o’clock this afternoon. While he is free to roam the streets tonight, the Parole Board is yet to decide on Robinson’s penalty for violating his parole. Robinson was convicted of the 1998 rape of then U.D.P. standard bearer Marisa Quan and has been out on parole since last year. This is his second parole violation and he was charged in January for burglarizing the home of primary school teacher, Kimana Davis.
