Clifton Lolawattie was chopped in his face for not sharing his stash of cocaine with his 41-year-old friend, Sherwin Pindar, of 294 West Ruimveldt.
Yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court, Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry read the charge of unlawful wounding to Pindar who pleaded not guilty.
On April 11, the defendant approached Clifton Lolawattie, of Herstelling, East Bank Demerara to take part in cocaine he was consuming at the time. Lolawattie refused and Pindar became highly annoyed. He drew a cutlass and chopped Lolawattie.
Pindar was instructed to post a bond of $30,000 and his trial is due to start on April 24.
