Teen arraigned with attempted murder

Seventeen-year-old Christopher Shannon was on Friday arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on an attempted murder charge alleging that on November 10, 2018 at Grove, East Bank Demerara, he unlawfully assaulted Brian Sumeer with intent to commit murder.
Represented by Attorney-at-law Stanley Moore, the teen, of Lot 128 Alexander Village, Georgetown, was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
The prosecution’s case is that the teen discharged two shots at the victim, thus causing him to receive injuries to his chest.
Shannon has been remanded to prison, and the matter has been adjourned to December 18, 2018.
