Man who breached bail remanded on multiple charges

Joel Khan of Rose Hall Town, Corentyne Berbice, who breached the bail imposed on him by Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh in the Albion Magistrate’s Court on October 15 last, was on Friday remanded to prison on multiple charges after appearing before the said Albion Magistrate after a warrant had been issued for his arrest.

The 29-year-old had initially appeared before Magistrate Singh to answer the following charges: five counts of threatening behaviour, four counts of abusive language, one count of unlawful wounding, and one count each of simple larceny and provoking a breach of the peace. He is accused of committing these offences against Towona Low on October 10.
At his arraignment in October, Khan had pleaded not guilty to the charges, and was released on cash bail pending the determination of his matters. However, after he failed to appear in court on several occasions, Magistrate Singh issued a warrant for his arrest.
As a result, Khan was arrested by the Police on Thursday, and appeared before the said Magistrate on Friday. His bail was revoked, and he was remanded to prison. His cases have been adjourned until February 8, 2022. (G1)
