A 20-year-old of Lot 15 Rahaman Park, Georgetown, appeared before a City Magistrate on a charge of unlawful assault.
It was alleged that on Wednesday, October 12, 2016 at Rahaman Park, Samuel Azees unlawfully and maliciously assaulted Errol Dualon to cause actual bodily harm.
Azees pleaded not guilty to the charge. The virtual complainant, Dualon, was a no-show at court.
Representing the defendant was attorney Dexter Todd who told the court that his client has never had any interactions with the law. He added that his client “may have stolen a mango from somebody’s tree but nothing more”.
He further made an application for bail, stating that his client is young and engaged, while also noting the VC’s absence.
Prosecutor Shellon Jupiter indicated to the court had no objection to the accused being granted bail.
As such, bail was granted in the sum of $15,000 and Azees will make his next court appearance on October 27, 2016.
