Maryann Daby PI…. Police witness remains elusive

Oct 23, 2018 News

Detective Constable John Holder, who weeks ago told the court that he lied in a statement he made to support his colleague, yesterday failed to turn up in court when the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) involving businesswoman Maryann Daby, who is accused of attempting to kill a police officer continued.
Maryann Daby, 25, of 127 D’Aguiar Park, Houston, Georgetown, was not required to plead to the charge which alleged that on May 13, last, at Albert Street, Thomas, Lands, Georgetown, with intent to commit murder, she attempted to discharged a loaded firearm at Police Constable Christopher Kissoon.
She is currently out on $750,000 High Court Bail.
Yesterday when the matter was called the orderly called Holder’s name thrice and no one answered or appeared to the name.
The Magistrate after inquiring about Holder’s whereabouts was told by Police Prosecutor, Richard Harris, that the witness was sick and could not make an appearance in court. The Magistrate further went on to ask the Prosecutor if a medical certificate was sent to the court and the Prosecutor said no.
The Magistrate then adjourned the matter until November 5 for continuation of the PI.
According to reports, on the day in question Daby and her friends were at the Georgetown Motor Racing and Sports Club. Constable Kissoon, who was off-duty and was at the Club at the time, reportedly heard what appeared to be gunshots.
While checking for the source of the gunfire, he reportedly saw Daby firing rounds into the air. He said that he confronted her.
Daby then allegedly pointed a firearm to the officer’s head and pulled the trigger.
Daby is also charged with having an unlicensed pistol along with six live rounds.
The attempted murder charge and the unlawful possession of arms and ammunition charges arise from the same circumstances.
It is alleged that on May 13, last at Albert Street, Thomas Lands, Georgetown, she had a .32 pistol in her possession when she was not the holder of a firearm license enforced at the time.
It was further alleged that on the same day, she had six live rounds of .32 ammunition in her possession, when she was not the holder of a firearm license enforced at the time.
She denied the charges after they were read to her. She is being represented by Attorney-at-Law Mark Waldron.
