Two men were remanded in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday for threatening to kill a high school student after robbing him.

Paul Mullings and Giovanni Darby are charged with robbery with aggravation.

Allegations are that on November 10, the complainant was walking along Hanover Street, Kingston, when one of the men told him he wanted what was in his pocket but was ignored.

On November 11, it is alleged that the complainant saw both men at his school gate, and walked pass them when one said he asked him for something yesterday and did not get it. He again ignored them.

The men followed the complainant along North Street and approached him on Sutton Street and held his bag straps.

It is alleged that they asked him for his phone and he said he did not have any, however, they searched his pocket and took out a Samsung phone.

The prosecution told the court that the accused men pulled knives and told the complainant they were going to kill him. The complainant ran for his life, leaving his bag.

The complainant reported the incident to police and the men were arrested. Both men should return to court on December 2.
