$200,000 bail for malicious wounding
A labourer was granted $200,000 bail, yesterday, after he denied two charges of inflicting grievous bodily harm when he appeared before the Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
The prosecution’s evidence was that on April 10 at Tabatinga in the Central Rupununi District, he unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm on Linden West. He is also said to have committed the offence on Amanda Campbell at the same place.
But the 23-year-old who said he is a labourer in Lethem, denied the allegations. The facts were not read in court and there were no objections to bail. Baird was granted $200,000 bail and the matter was adjourned until May 30.
Chris Baird, of Parika, East Bank Essequibo, chose to have his matter tried in the Magistrate’s Court where his penalty would be less as opposed to the High Court when the Magistrate applied the administrative justice act (AJA).
