LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles police have agreed to return the US$1,4 million worth of jewellery that pop star Rihanna was wearing the night her R&B singer boyfriend Chris Brown is accused of assaulting her, Rihanna’s lawyer said this week.
The earring and three rings that Rihanna was wearing were on loan to the ‘Umbrella’ singer, who had attended a pre-Grammy party with Brown hours before the February 8 incident. They were taken by police as evidence in the case.
The designers asked for the bling to be returned and lawyer Donald Etra told a Los Angeles judge at a hearing on the assault case that police will first photograph them before handing them back.
Brown is charged with attacking Rihanna in their rented car on their way home from the party.
He is free on bail pending a possible trial next month when he could be given probation or up to five years prison if convicted.
