Twenty-four year-old Anthony Pydanna, called ‘Ricardo’ of Angoy’s Avenue, a labourer at a lumber yard, was yesterday charged with attempted murder. He allegedly attempted to kill Yuwyn Ramalho last Saturday, October 27.
The man appeared before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court and was placed on $300,000 bail.
The case for the prosecution as presented by Corporal Orin Joseph was that Ramalho and the accused knew each other, but are not friends. He stated that on October 27, last, around 23:00 hrs during the ‘Town Day’ celebrations, Ramalho was drinking with some friends on Matthew Allen Road, New Amsterdam. He had just bought some Guinness for his friends when the accused came up and asked him to buy a Guinness for him. Ramalho refused, causing Pydanna to get upset. The accused reportedly took a Guinness bottle broke it and stabbed Ramalho over his eye.
The man collapsed and was picked up and rushed to the New Amsterdam hospital where he remained warded.
Pydanna was subsequently pounced upon and given a severe beating before being handed over to the police.
He will have to return to court on Monday, December 10.
