‘Confidential Cabs’ owner remanded for attempted murder

Apr 09, 2013 News

Kwame Anderson, the owner of Confidential Cabs on Robb Street was remanded to jail yesterday when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court. He was charged with unlawful wounding with the intent to commit murder.
Anderson, 35, of 449 Diamond Housing Scheme, was not required to plead.
According to Prosecutor Seon Blackman, on April 4, around 17:50 hours, Lawrence Fanfair was riding his pedal cycle in the vicinity of Camp Street when, a motor car nearly hit him. An argument ensued between Fanfair and the driver and that soon became a fight.
Anderson reportedly tried to separate the two then returned to his business, when Fanfair attacked him with a sharp instrument. Anderson then stabbed Fanfair with knife, who was subsequently taken to the hospital where he still remains in a critical condition.
Attorney Mark Waldron, who represented Anderson, requested reasonable bail based on the fact that his client’s case is one that rests on the platform of “self defense.” He added, “It should be noted that my client walked away from the incident and was attacked by the complainant first, and I think anyone who is being attacked would try their best to defend themselves.”
The prosecution objected to bail, on the grounds that the complainant is still hospitalized and remains in a critical condition, the nature of the offense and the punishment it attracts.
The defendant was ordered to return to court on April 12.
