PM’s son to know fate next week
City Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond is set to rule in the case involving the embattled Prime Minister’s son next
Accused:
Samuel Hinds Jr.
Friday following the defence submissions in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
Samuel Hinds Jnr., 33, faced the courts on three charges which stemmed from an altercation with his teenaged sister-in-law in February.
Reports are that Hinds, who had accused his 18-year-old sister-in-law, Tenza Lane of stealing one of his cellular phones, flew in a range and brandished a gun, thrashed and threatened to kill her.
He subsequently faced the court for unlawfully and maliciously wounding Layne, on February 27, last, 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 charge he faced for threatening behaviour was also dismissed.
Hinds is being prosecuted by Lance Corporal Jomo Nichols. He is represented by Attorney-at-Law Peter Hugh and is on $200,000 bail.
Both the defence and Prosecution have since called several witnesses in this case. The Magistrate is expected to rule on July 4.
