Accused: Kelvin Hodge
Kelvin Hodge, was charged for chopping an acquaintance on June 21, last.
Hodge was charged for unlawfully and maliciously wounding Wendell Crawford with intent to maim, harm, disable or disfigure him on June 21 at Iwang Backdam, Mazaruni.
He pleaded not guilty. He is being represented by his lawyer, James Bond, who said that his client has no wife or children.
Bond stated that the victim, Crawford, has been discharged from the hospital and that the altercation stemmed from what was described as a “ya me, ya you” situation.
The lawyer explained that the complainant had his client in a choke hold and pulled a knife on him. He said that his client, however, pulled a knife and struck him on his hands “to ensure his life was preserved.”
There were no objections to bail from Police Prosecutor, Corporal Bharat Mangru. The case was transferred and is set to be called before Magistrate Allan Wilson at the Mahdia Magistrate’s Court on July 4 for statements.
