PM’s son to make submissions in wounding case
The court yesterday granted an application to allow the defence and Prosecution involved in the case of the embattled
Accused:
Samuel Hinds Jnr.
Prime Minister’s son to make closing submissions next week.
Samuel Hinds Jnr. is currently facing the courts on three charges which stemmed from an altercation with his teenaged sister-in-law late February.
Reports are that Hinds, who had accused the teen of stealing one of his cellular phones, flew in a fit and, brandishing a gun, thrashed and threatened to kill his sister-in-law.
He subsequently faced the court for unlawfully and maliciously wounding his sister-in-law, Tenza Layne, on February 27 at his Lot 83 Duke Street, Kingston residence. He is accused, too, of threatening behaviour towards Layne.
Following the incident, they were both charged but the case against the teenager was dismissed.
The trial is being conducted before Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond. Hinds is being prosecuted by Lance Corporal Jomo Nichols. He is represented by Attorney-at-Law Peter Hugh and is on $200,000 conditional bail.
Both the defence and Prosecution have since called several witnesses in this case, and are expected to make submissions next Tuesday.
