Woman further remanded for attempted murder of cop

Twenty-five-year-old Maryanne Daby of Lot 127 D’Aguiar Park, Houston, Greater Georgetown who was slapped with an attempted murder charge was on Wednesday further remanded to prison when she appeared before the Chief Magistrate at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Daby’s Attorney, Mark Waldron, in another bail application on Wednesday, told the court that the charges for the possession of unlicensed firearm and ammunition should be dismissed since his client is licensed.
The said licence provided to the Court has expired; however, Waldron noted that

Daby was still within the stipulated period to have same renewed.
Turning his attention to the outstanding ballistic report, the lawyer noted that it would take time to be provided by the prosecution.
However, the Police Prosecutor maintained the prosecution’s objections to bail as a result of the seriousness of the offence.
Magistrate Ann McLennan further remanded Daby to prison on the grounds of public safety. The case will continue on May 30.
Daby was charged after she fired shots into the air while partying at a Thomas Land, Georgetown racing club. She was allegedly approached by Christopher Kissoon, an off-duty officer, who asked her to stop. However, according to the Prosecutor, the irritated young woman took the said pistol and pointed it to the officer’s head and pulled the trigger. The Prosecutor informed the court that the gun jammed and did not discharge. As such, she was arrested and slapped with an attempted murder charge.
