Last month, Marvin Lee Woolridge, 30, of Loyal Hill, Devonshire, pleaded guilty to robbery and threatening violence while armed with a knife on February 17, 1993.

But a social inquiry report was still unfinished yesterday when the case appeared for mention.

The case was adjourned until later this month.

In his October court appearance, Woolridge admitted threatening Ian MacKenzie, 64, and his wife Barbara, 61, as they walked along the railway trail in Devonshire.

Crown Counsel Mr. Khamisi Tokunbo told the court Woolridge grabbed Mr.

MacKenzie by the shirt and held a knife to his throat warning Mrs. MacKenzie her husband would die if she fled.

After taking cash, a pair of binoculars, a camera, credit cards and other items, Woolridge escaped on his motor cycle. But Police arrested him hours later.

As a result of the robbery, Mrs. MacKenzie suffered acute anxiety and was treated at St. Brendan's Hospital, Mr. Tukunbo said.
