Murder/assault accused remanded to prison
Christopher Anderson
Fifty year-old Christopher Anderson of 25/26 Kaikan Street, Georgetown, was yesterday remanded to prison after he appeared before Magistrate Melissa Robertson to answer charges of murder of a civilian, and assault of a police officer.
It is alleged that on April 21, he assaulted Police Constable 19318 Mortimer Smith while the officer was executing his duties. He was also charged for the murder of Garnett Woolford, whom he also reportedly assaulted causing bodily harms.
The injuries resulted in the man eventually succumbing recently at a city hospital.
Anderson was not required to plead to the murder charge but pleaded not guilty to the assault of the peace officer.
His request for bail, something, which he said was his constitutional right, was refused.
It is alleged that Anderson severely chopped Woolford about the body during an argument that erupted between the two.
It is said that Anderson was begging lodging at Woolford’s home and got angry when the man asked him to leave. This promoted the brawl that followed after.
He will return to answer his charges before the court on July 21.
