Suresh Pollard yesterday appeared before Magistrate Priya Beharry to face the charges of unlawful destruction of property and unlawful wounding.
The accused, of Duke Street, Kingston, Georgetown, pleaded not guilty.
It is alleged that last Thurday (August 13) Pollard, a clothes vendor, unlawfully and maliciously damaged two windows of a minibus, and unlawfully and maliciously wounded Randolph Calvan.
Calvan was also charged with unlawfully and maliciously wounding Suresh Pollard, to which he pleaded not guilty.
Attorney-at-Law Glenn Hanoman who represented Pollard, told the court that Calvan had carried two bus loads of people to Pollard’s house to attack his client, and further stated that Pollard did not in anyway maliciously damage the vehicle.
The Police Prosecutor however told the court that it was Pollard who lashed out at Calvan with a cutlass.
It was alleged that Pollard had taken from Calvan a cell phone and cash, and then proceeded to use the cutlass. It was at this point that Hanoman opined that the investigation was not a good one.
Hanoman made clear to the court that the investigating rank should herself be investigated, highlighting that based on the manner in which the facts were read out to the court, that something was wrong with the way investigations were carried out.
Hanoman felt that the facts presented were aiming at robbery, which was not the charge read out for his client.
Pollard was granted $65,000 bail for the two charges and is expected to return to court on September 14.
