Businessman charged following Kitty shooting

Dec 23, 2009 News

Following the shooting incident on Saturday morning at a bar in Kitty, one man has been charged with disorderly behaviour. The man was placed on bail yesterday when he made a court appearance before the Acting Chief Magistrate.
Mark D’Abreu, 34, of 66 Broad and Adelaide Streets Charlestown, proprietor of Marcos Trading, 11 North Road, Lacytown, was yesterday placed on $10,000 bail after appearing before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson on a charge of disorderly behaviour.
It is alleged that on December 19, at Railway Line, Kitty, D’Abreu behaved disorderly. D’Abreu, who was represented by attorneys at law Mark Waldron and Nigel Hughes, pleaded not guilty.
Waldron, in an application to have his client sent on his own recognizance, said that the incident stemmed from an unfortunate event. Waldron explained that his client received a phone call about 03:00 hrs that his teenage nephew and friends were shot.
He added that the accused and his father went to the location where they saw two bodies lying on the ground, covered in blood. He also saw a male with a gun over one of the men about to kick him.
Waldron claimed that his client only demanded that the police take the two men to the hospital when they alleged that he was behaving disorderly. He added that the men remained lying in the blood for about 30 minutes until he contacted the Alberttown Police Station.
Waldron said that the men were then taken to Georgetown Public Hospital where one was pronounced dead and the other admitted to the High Dependency Unit of the hospital. He said his client was arrested and detained with no allegation made against him but was placed on $10,000 station bail on Monday.
Police prosecutor Alexis David-Hossanah said that on the night in question, Assistant Superintendent Dwight Cambridge shot two males in Kitty. She said that D’Abreu came up afterwards and began to behave disorderly towards ASP Cambridge. She added that he was arrested and is now charged with the present offence.
Waldron then contended that ASP Cambridge who was involved in the incident was not present but will be appearing before the court later probably to answer to  murder and attempted murder charges.
Magistrate Robertson then granted the accused his bail. He is to return to court on January 20.
