Chunu is charged with defrauding Rennie Coolman of $165,000 and is also charged with soliciting a total of $175,000 for the forbearance of charges against Coolman for his wife's kidnapping and murder. She faces a total of nine fraud charges. The allegations state that Chunu pretended to be a prosecuting attorney from the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) when she committed the offences. Naipaul-Coolman, CEO of Xtra Foods Ltd, was kidnapped outside her home in Lange Park, Chaguanas, on December 19, 2006. She has since been declared dead by investigators of the Homicide Bureau.
