Ambrose told the court that he is a 23-year-old resident of Albouystown. He said, “When the police talking they only talking for themselves. They want me do things. They always getting you running through cracks and when they catch you they ain’t find nutten pon you.”
According to Ambrose the victim is in a relationship with his aunt. However, he does not like happiness for the rest of the family. “He always trying fo cause a problem.”
The magistrate after a very nice conversation with the defendant ordered that he is to undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine if he is fit to stand trial.
The matter was then adjourned until July 31.
