A mother of two accused of stabbing her reputed husband with a pair of scissors has been remanded to prison. The man remains hospitalised in a critical condition.
Maria Walcott, a cashier of East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, appeared before city Magistrate Rondel Weever at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Remanded: Maria Walcott
She was not required to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that on January 23 at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, she unlawfully and maliciously wounded Keshawn Braithwaite, also known as “Keshawn Griffith”.
The court was told that the couple was involved in a heated argument during which Walcott armed herself with a pair of scissors and stabbed Braithwaite to his chest.
The Police prosecutor opposed Walcott being granted bail on the ground that the victim is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a city hospital. The objection was upheld by the Magistrate, and Walcott was remanded. The case will continue on February 21. (G1)
