Dec 01, 2012 News

 

Osmond Pierre of Lot 1063 Aubrey Barker Road South Ruimveldt was yesterday remanded to prison on a charge of unlawful wounding with the intent to commit murder. The accused allegedly shot Rawley Smith with the intent to kill him.
According to reports, Pierre discharged a loaded firearm at Rawley Smith after they had a disagreement over US$200 which he claimed the victim owed him.
Smith said that he was sitting in front of a variety store in South Ruimveldt when the accused came up with a gun and shouted that “he gun settle de matter right here.”  The accused subsequently shot him in the face.
The bullet is said to have entered the man’s left side jaw and is lodged at the back of his neck. Smith was rushed to the Balwant Singh Hospital for treatment.  A police report was made and the suspect was later apprehended in the Moleson Creek area.
Pierre was not required to plead to the indictable charge.  However his Attorney Basil Williams requested bail.
Williams argued that the victim did not identify his client as the person who shot him adding, that rather it was the victim’s brother who went after his client causing him to flee to Moleson Creek.
Nonetheless Pierre was refused bail and ordered to return to court on December 17.
