Contractor on bail for stabbing man for $100

Feb 07, 2014 News

A contractor was yesterday brought before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to be indicted on an unlawful wounding charge after he allegedly stabbed another man for $100.
Yesterday, Kent Beckles appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that on January 21, at Stabroek Market, he unlawfully wounded Kumar Outar.
The Prosecution’s case is that about 23:00 hours that day, Beckles approached Outar and begged him for $100.
Inspector Michael Grant, who prosecuted, stated that Outar refused, and as a result, Beckles broke a glass bottle and stabbed the man twice about the body and lashed him to the head.
The matter was subsequently reported and the accused was later charged with the offence.
However, the Prosecution offered no objections to bail and Beckles who was unrepresented by legal counsel was granted bail in the sum of $125,000. He is expected to make his second court appearance on March 6.
