Palmist denies deception charges

A Staffordshire palm reader who claimed he could reunite a woman with her ex-boyfriend using paranormal phenomena has denied deception charges.

Naseem Mohammed, 42, denies falsely claiming he could restore the relationship between Jasuir Mahill and her lover using voodoo dolls.

Chester Magistrates Court heard the palmist allegedly obtained £8,000 from Ms Mahill, from Hanley,Stoke-on-Trent.

He pleaded not guilty to seven charges of deception.

He also denied a further charge under the Trades Descriptions Act of recklessly making a false statement claiming he was "able to perform paranormal phenomena guaranteeing to restore the physical relationship between her and her ex-boyfriend".

Mr Mohammed, of Bridge Street Row, Chester, was bailed to appear before the same court on 13 March when the case is due to be committed to crown court for trial.

Speaking outside court, his solicitor, Shahid Ali, said his client "vehemently denied" the charges.
