Grandmother Lenice Tucker visited Butterfield Bank to find out “where her money was” in October 2010, a jury heard yesterday.Sydonnie White-Bademosi, branch manager at Butterfield on Reid Street, told the Supreme Court trial of Ms Tucker’s granddaughters that an elderly lady and two men who described themselves as her sons were introduced to her by a personal banker.“They came to my office,” said the prosecution witness. “She was inquiring where her money was. So obviously when a customer says that, you say ‘what’s wrong?’. I sat them down and I went to investigate.”Ms White-Bademosi said she investigated and found the money was withdrawn by authorised signatories on the account but not by 87-year-old Ms Tucker.After explaining this to Ms Tucker, she said the senior “appeared surprised and she insisted that she knew nothing about the money and where is the money”.The witness said the two men sat with Ms Tucker but didn’t make any requests of the bank.“After we explained to Ms Tucker that the funds were withdrawn and there was no wrongdoing on our part, then they left.”Ms Tucker’s granddaughters Lorraine Smith, 46, and Audra-Ann Bean, 44, of Warwick, deny abusing a senior by financial exploitation and stealing almost half a million dollars from their grandmother between July 2010 and January 2011.The prosecution alleges that they deceived Ms Tucker into adding them as signatories on her Butterfield and HSBC accounts, then used their “new-found wealth” for their own ends, including to pay for school fees and rent and buy new windows and doors.The trial has heard a claim from the defence that Ms Smith was trying to prevent her drug-using father Ivan Bean and maintenance man Alvin (Kelly) Jones from accessing the cash.The jury was told by a Butterfield worker yesterday that an e-mail was sent to staff at the bank containing concerns about Ms Tucker and her son.Linda Wilson, giving evidence for the prosecution, said the message made no reference to sisters Ms Smith or Ms Bean and was sent before the defendants came to the bank on October 8, 2010, to open an account together with a deposit of $102,504.85.“It was in reference to a man and a woman,” she said, later clarifying that it was regarding Ms Tucker and her son.Under cross-examination by defence lawyer Larry Mussenden, Ms Wilson said she had no recollection of asking the women if they were “agitated or anxious” when they came into the bank on October 8.She added: “That’s not normally our procedure.”Ms Wilson said she didn’t remember the sisters explaining anything to her about why they were transferring funds to the account.Mr Mussenden asked if she remembered telling Ms Smith and Ms Bean: “Hey you girls, there’s been an alert on your account.”Ms Wilson said: “You would not alert clients if there is something wrong.” She added that was “because they could intervene in some future investigations”. “What you do is go to your manager,” she said.Also giving evidence for the prosecution before it closed its case yesterday was Shana Hayward, an assistant vice president at Butterfield.Ms Hayward was asked by Crown counsel Garrett Byrne if there were any reports of unauthorised attempts to withdraw money on October 8. She said no.She told the jury she was aware of an e-mail about a gentleman.Mr Byrne told the trial that two accounts of Ms Smith and Ms Bean were frozen. An HSBC account contained almost $350,000 and a Butterfield account contained more than $17,000.
