Man remanded for wounding with intent to disfigure

After 2 years on the run

After two years on the run, Vickram Bharrat, a 20-year-old father of one from Sisters Village, West Bank Demerara, was on Thursday remanded to prison by Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool on a felonious wounding charge.
Bharrat denied that on June 6, 2015 at Sideline Dam, Sister’s Village, he, in the company of others, unlawfully wounded Long Pond Sisters Village resident Jamie Narine, with intent to disfigure or disable him.
Narine’s wrist was completely severed during the altercation between the two. Represented by defence counsel, the accused informed the court that his common-law wife is pregnant and a request was made for reasonable bail to be granted. The prosecution however objected on grounds that a warrant was out for his arrest for over two years and that if granted pre-trial liberty, Bharrat would leave the area again. As such, Magistrate Liverpool denied the bail application.
The court heard that upon his arrest, the accused man was providing several aliases to Police which included “Christopher Bharrat,” “Chris”, and “Andy Bharrat”. When asked to provide evidence of his identification, he told Magistrate Liverpool that his documents were lost. It was his mother who confirmed his name to the court.
Guyana Times understands that Bharrat has a history of violent behaviour and he was recently accused of chopping another man called “Spragga” to his head at Wales earlier this month. It was reported that after severing Narine’s wrist in 2015, the accused fled and was residing in Berbice all the while. He recently returned to the area and was arrested and promptly charged.
He will make his next court appearance on October 19 at the Wales Magistrate’s Court.
