FORMER travel agent Vicky Boodram is set to renew her bail application on October 7 when she returns before the High Court in San Fernando on a charge of escaping lawful custody.

Boodram, also known as Victoria Samlalsingh, is expected to ask the court to vary her existing bail, arguing that she has already served the maximum possible sentence for the offence.

Central to her arguments is that Section 4 of the Criminal Offences Act limits the penalty for escaping lawful custody to three years, a period that has long passed since her arrest in 2016.
