Vendor slapped with attempted murder charge

A 34-year-old Bourda Market, Georgetown vendor who allegedly stabbed a fellow vendor during an argument over money on Tuesday was arraigned before the courts on an attempted murder charge.
Jewey Ferguson appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
The charge stated that on December 2, 2018 at Bourda, Georgetown with intent to commit murder Ferguson wounded Nigel George.
An unrepresented Ferguson was, however, granted bail after Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield made no objections, but asked that conditions be applied.
According to facts presented, the accused confronted the Virtual Complainant (VC) over money, which he owed her. However, the VC failed to hand over the money which resulted in the accused reportedly arming herself with a knife and inflicting a stab wound to the chest of the VC. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he admitted for treatment and later discharged.
The woman was released on $250,000 bail. As a condition of bail, she is required to report to the Alberttown Police Station every Monday until completion of trial.
The matter was adjourned until January 3, 2019.
