Man remanded for discharging firearm

May 30, 2012 News

 

 

A 21-year-old man was yesterday denied bail when he appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octave-Hamilton at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Ewart George was charged with the offence of discharging a loaded weapon at Gregory Nichols. The charge also stated that on March 19 at Georgetown, with the use of the gun, George intended to maim, disfigure or disable Nichols.
George was not required to plead to the charge.
The prosecutor asked that the accused be remanded to jail and the court granted the application.
George told the court that he did not know the victim. He further claimed that he has been in the lock-ups for over two months and was only now being charged with the offence.
The court discovered that after the alleged incident, Nichols had to be hospitalised.
It is alleged that George’s charge stemmed from an attempted robbery. According to information received, Nichols reportedly heard unfamiliar sounds in his yard and upon checking, noticed a shadow. It is alleged that Nichols attempted to approach George, but the accused reportedly opened fire on him. Nichols was shot in the hand.
George will return to court on June 11.
