Kaieteur News – A 40-year-old shopkeeper was placed on $60,000 bail after he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Friday, to answer to the charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm which he committed on a minor on December 4, 2023.
Samuel Duncan of Lot 23, Durban Backlands Squatting Area, Georgetown, father of two, made his first court appearance before Magistrate Rhondell Weever, where he was charged for the offence, unlawfully and maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm on a minor.
According to police, it is alleged that on December 4, 2023 at Durban Backlands Squatting Area, Georgetown, Duncan unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm on a teen (name known).
The accused pleaded not guilty to the offence when it was read to him by the magistrate. Duncan, who was not represented by a lawyer, refuted the claims leveled against him in court.
The prosecution did not object to bail, but requested that the defendant must be placed on a bond with the virtual complainant, mainly because they are neighbours. The prosecutions also noted the seriousness of the offence and the fact that the virtual complainant is a minor.
The magistrate granted bail to the accused, with the conditions that he refrain from making any contacts with the defendant and to be placed on a bond. Magistrate Weever then sternly said that if he breaches any of the conditions imposed by the court, he will be remanded to prison. Duncan is scheduled to re-appear before the court on January 26, 2024.
