Man who robbed elderly as Mill Reef Club sentenced to 8.5 years
Rickardo Bussawan has been sentenced to 8.5 years in prison for three counts of aggravated robbery against elderly victims James and Elizabeth Lewis.
The Villa resident pleaded guilty to the crimes committed on April 6, 2022.
Court documents reveal that around 10 pm, the Lewis couple and their friend were conversing by the pool when three masked men wearing gloves and carrying knives attacked them.
The assailants allegedly tied up the victims with duct tape and stole valuables including iPhones, iPods, jewellery worth US $10,000, a chef knife, a curling iron, and over US $1,100 in cash.
Bussawan’s co-accused, Delon Wills and Michael Carr, are scheduled to return to court on February 3 to set a trial date.
The sentences will run concurrently, with time served to be deducted from the total sentence.
