Taxi driver Lindon Daniels, who is accused of raping multiple women, was on Wednesday committed to face trial in the High Court for another rape charge.
Daniels is accused of driving victims to a lonely area and raping them. It is further alleged that he would take away their phones and drive away after committing the act.
In one instance, he was committed to stand trial by City Magistrate Sherdel Isccas-Marcus for allegedly having sex with a woman over 17 without her consent on January 30, 2019, at Kuru-Kuru, Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara. He was also accused of stealing the woman’s $37,000 cellphone on the same day in question.

This incident reportedly occurred on February 13, 2019, at New Providence, East Bank Demerara,
Daniels is also accused of another rape which alleged that on February 18, 2019, at New Providence, EBD, he engaged in sexual activity with a woman over the age of 17.
