Woman remanded for unlawful wounding

An unemployed woman was on Wednesday taken before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer to the charge of unlawful wounding.
Stacy Ann Chandra, of Lot 12 Queen Street, South Cummingsburg, Georgetown, denied the charge which stated that on November 20, 2018, she wounded Tomika Adams.
The prosecution is contending that the 24-year-old woman and the Virtual Compliant (VC) are known to each other; however, on the day of the incident, the defendant’s brother and Adams had a misunderstanding and she allegedly armed herself with a knife and dealt the woman several stabs about her body. The matter was reported to the Brickdam Police Station. Chandra was recently arrested and the charge instituted.
Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield objected to bail on the grounds that the charge was serious in nature. The prosecution’s submissions were upheld, and Chandra was remanded to prison.
The case will continue on April 24, 2019.
