Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on Friday granted bail to 25-year-old Trillion Peters, who appeared before her at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged with an attempted murder charge.
Peters, a construction worker of Lot 664 East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was not required to plead to the indictable charge which detailed that on May 14, 2019, at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, with intent to commit murder or cause grievous bodily harm, he wounded Ovid Barrow.
Police Prosecutor Neville Jeffers told the court that on May 14, Peters and the 20-year-old Virtual Complainant were involved in an argument over an old grievance. According to the prosecutor, an annoyed Peters whipped out a knife and dealt Barrow several stab wounds about his body then fled the scene.
The victim was picked up by public-spirited persons and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he underwent emergency surgery and was admitted to the health facility. Peters was later arrested and the present charge was instituted.
Prosecutor Jeffers further informed the court that Barrow received stab wounds to his back, shoulder and arm. He, however, did not object to bail, but submitted that should bail be granted, conditions should be imposed.
As such, Chief Magistrate McLennan granted Peters bail in the sum of $100,000 and ordered him to report to the East Ruimveldt Police Station every Friday until the completion of the trial. He was also ordered to stay away from the VC. The case will continue on August 15, 2019.
