Duo on bail for separate charges

Forty-year-old Darion Witter, a carpenter of Miller Street Triumph, ECD, and Marlon Otto, a 51-year-old construction worker of Granville Park Beterverwagting, ECD, were on Wednesday arraigned before Sparendaam Magistrate Abigail Gibbs on separate charges that resulted from an incident that occurred between them on March 18.
Charged with unlawful wounding committed on Otto, Witter has been placed on $150,000 bail, even as Otto has been placed on $700,000 bail on a charge of attempting to commit murder on Witter. In their arraignment, Witter pleaded not guilty as charged, while Otto was not required to enter a plea.
They have both been placed on bail, with the condition that they lodge their respective passports with, and report to, police authorities at the Beterverwagting Station on the first Friday of each month. Their matters have been adjourned to June 9, 2025.
