An Albouystown, Georgetown block maker was on Tuesday remanded to prison after he was slapped with an attempted murder charge and placed before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Twenty-seven-year-old Malcolm Culley, of Lot 154 Cooper Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, had the charge read to him by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
The court heard that on May 18, 2018 at Albouystown with intent to commit murder, Culley wounded Rawle Khan.
On Tuesday, the court was informed that the injured man was still hospitalised at the Georgetown Public Hospital suffering from a punctured lung.
In a bail application, Culley’s Attorney, George Thomas, told the court that his client, a father of one, was soon to be a parent again.
He highlighted that Culley had no previous matters in the courts and did not pose a flight risk.
However, Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield objected to bail and revealed that Khan was not out of danger. The Prosecutor added that the Virtual Complainant was nursing a punctured lung, broken ribs, and multiple lacerations about his body.
The prosecution’s submission was upheld, and bail was denied. The case will continue on June 11, 2018.
