Supenaam street roamer remanded

A Supenaam man, suspected to be of unsound mind, was on Monday remanded to prison on charges of unlawful wounding and threatening behaviour.
He made his first appearance before Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Charity Magistrate’s Court, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Mark Beamil, also known as “Tout”, of no fixed place of abode, was on Saturday last arrested and charged with unlawful wounding and threatening behaviour committed on George Couchman.
He was remanded to prison until December 8, 2016.
Prior to Beamil’s arrest, scores of residents in the Good Hope/-Supenaam area related to the media how threatened they were by his presence. They explained that they were fearful for their lives, since the man, who was usually armed with various weapons, would roam the streets late at nights.
