Badnock, 27, of Old Montrose pleaded guilty to four counts of burglary. He appeared before Senior Magistrate Donald Browne at the Kingstown Magistrateâs Court on Monday, March 8, 2010.
Prosecutor Station Sergeant Glenford Gregg made an application to the court for Badnock to be sent to the High Court for sentencing. Magistrate Browne upheld the application and Badnock was remanded to Her Majestyâs Prison.
Badnock is said to have entered the Robert Rapture Building on Lower Bay Street and burglarized a number of business houses, including the office of the Upper Room Ministries owned by Juliette Campbell of Queenâs Drive. He also broke into a restaurant owned by Campbell, G.Bâs Variety Store and stole items valued over $700. Badnock also stole a quantity of office supplies from Phillips Office Machines valued at $500.
The court heard that the police received a report that someone was seen in the building. When the officers visited the building, Badnock was caught red-handed leaving the building with a number of items.
A search of Badnock found a black facemask along with the items.
In 2004, Badnock was charged for the murder of policeman Elson âRackaâ Richardson. The charge was later withdrawn and he made stateâs witness for the prosecution.
