Man on $250,000 bail for wounding charge

Oct 13, 2012 News

David Greene, of Lot 30 North Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was yesterday placed on $250,000 after he entered a plea of not guilty to maiming his acquaintance.
Greene, who has had a record of unlawful assault, faced Chief Magistrate (Ag) Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on a wounding charge.
The facts of the case reveal that earlier this year Greene used a knife to stab Renato Gammel, a miner. The incident allegedly stemmed from a dispute between Greene and the victim’s relatives.
Gammel was not present at the initial court proceeding, but his mother informed the court of the reason for his absence. The woman told the court that her son who works in the interior had hung around to ensure that his assailant is brought to court and justice served.
However, he had to leave for work since it looked as though Greene would never be placed before the court. The woman reasoned that the defendant’s mother is a police officer which therefore hindered the case from being brought to court.
The prosecution did not object to bail but revealed that the defendant had been the aggressor in numerous episodes of unlawful assault. The Magistrate, after granting bail, ordered Greene to return to court on November 9.
