A welder was remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on Monday after he appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates Courts.
The charge read that on March 19 at Aranka Landing, Suraj Singh unlawfully and maliciously wounded Eon Lewis. The defendant pleaded not guilty after the charge was read to him.
Singh was represented by Attorney-at-Law Clyde Forde who in his application to secure bail for his client told the court that his client is not a flight risk. After the alleged incident his client was severely beaten and had to be hospitalized.
Police Prosecutor Arvin Moore objected to bail being granted to the defendant and told the court that the entire incident arose when the defendant attempted to chop the Virtual Complainant’s mother who is married to the defendant.
The victim on seeing the defendant approaching his mother with a cutlass intervened by forcing his way between the two to avoid his mother being chopped. The defendant then turned his attention on his stepson and dealt him several chops about his body.
Moore further stated that if bail is to be granted to the defendant it is likely that they will be more confrontations with his wife and her son.
Singh will make his next court appearance on April 6 in the Bartica Magistrate’s Courts.
