Dec 10, 2019 News

Tishon Thomas, a miner was yesterday hauled before a city magistrate and slapped with an attempted murder charge. He allegedly tried to stab his cousin to death with a knife.
The 21-year-old man of Baramita, North West District (NWD) was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
It was alleged that on December 2, 2019 at the same village where he resides, Thomas attempted to murder his cousin, Kevon David. He was not required to plead to the offence as the charge was made indictable.
The fact of the case was presented by Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield. It stated that the victim and the accused were at a camp when they had a disagreement. It was alleged that Thomas pulled out a knife and inflicted stab wounds to the left arm and upper abdomen of his cousin.
David was then taken to the Baramita Health Centre and later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he remains a patient.
According to the prosecutor, the injuries that the victim received are life threatening and they may cause permanent damage to the body.
However, the prosecutor had no objections to bail being granted to the accused but he asked for conditions to be attached to same.
Magistrate McLennan then granted bail to the tune of $150,000 under the condition that Thomas report to the Baramita Police Station every Friday. The case was adjourned to February 2, 2020.
