Labourer to stand High Court trial for Attempted Murder
Kaieteur News – Mark Chester, a 29-year-old labourer of Queenstown, Essequibo Coast was on Wednesday committed to stand trial at the High Court for attempted murder, when he appeared at the Anna Regina Magistrate’s Court.
Mark Chester granted bail
It was alleged that Chester on April 12, 2024 at Queenstown attempted to commit murder on Marlon Jones.
At Chester’s first court appearance at the Suddie Magistrates’ Court, he was remanded to prison on Apr 19, 2024. The defendant on Wednesday appeared virtually from prison, before Magistrate Tamieka Clarke in which two witnesses testified.
Magistrate Clarke ruled that based on the evidence presented, there was sufficient evidence before the court for the accused to stand trial at the next practicable session at the Suddie Supreme Criminal Court for an attempt to commit murder. The accused reserved his defense and witness for the High Court. As a result, bail was granted in the sum of $500,000.
