More than two years after a violent armed robbery targeting three senior citizens at the exclusive Mill Reef Club, one of the accused perpetrators has received a six-year prison term for his role in the shocking crime. Justice Ann Marie Smith issued the sentence last week, following a judge-alone trial that ended with a guilty verdict on three separate counts of aggravated robbery for defendant Marlon Carr. The offense dates back to April 6, 2022, when the three victims, all between 70 and 79 years old, were enjoying a quiet moment of relaxation near a poolside cabana at the resort when the attackers ambushed them. Court testimony detailed the terrifying ordeal: the trio was cornered, threatened at knifepoint, bound with duct tape to prevent resistance, and robbed of an array of personal valuables including cash, fine jewelry, mobile phones and other personal items. Carr was not the only individual charged in connection with the high-profile attack. He was one of three men taken into custody by authorities as investigators pieced together the sequence of the robbery. In a prior development in the case, co-accused Rickardo Bussawan entered a guilty plea to the charges against him and was sentenced to eight years behind bars in 2023. In a separate outcome, prosecutors moved to discontinue all charges against the third defendant, Delon Wills, leaving Carr and Bussawan as the only men convicted in the crime. A turning point in the case against Carr came from a statement he gave directly to law enforcement officers following his arrest. When first questioned, Carr denied having any connection to the robbery, but he eventually changed his account and confessed to key details of his involvement. He admitted to driving the other two co-accused to the Mill Reef Club property ahead of the attack, and acknowledged that he physically helped restrain one of the elderly victims after she made an attempt to escape the attackers. While Carr admitted to these core actions, he has maintained throughout the investigation and trial that he never personally carried a weapon during the robbery, and that he never accepted any share of the stolen valuables. He did, however, confirm to investigators that he was fully aware the other men involved in the plot were armed before they carried out the attack. Carr was formally convicted of the three aggravated robbery charges back in March 2024, and last week’s sentencing finalized the legal proceedings for his role in one of the more alarming violent crimes targeting elderly residents and guests at the private Caribbean resort in recent years.
