A Kingston, Georgetown resident was remanded to prison on Wednesday when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged for wounding his
Rajesh Pollard
brother.
Rajesh Pollard, 42, of Kingston, Georgetown, denied that he committed the act when Magistrate Fabayo Azore read the charge to him.
The charge against him alleged that on August 6, 2017, at Kingston, Georgetown, he inflicted grievous bodily harm on Sunil Pollard.
According to the defendant’s Attorney, Paul Fung-a-Fat, his client’s wife had previously taken out a restraining order against the Virtual Complainant (VC) who is a substance abuser.
On the day in question, the VC allegedly broke a bottle and attacked the defendant who was forced to defend himself which caused the VC to suffer injuries.
However, Police Prosecutor Simone Payne objected to bail being granted for the accused and revealed that her facts differed from that of the attorney’s.
She said that the VC and the defendant were fighting over a property which caused him (defendant) to strike the VC about his body with a piece of wood.
As a result of the injuries, the VC had to be rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he is presently hospitalised.
Pollard was remanded to prison and is expected to return to court on August 16.
