Three young men were remanded when they appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton on separate charges of felonious wounding and the unlawful discharge of a firearm.

Anthony Taylor, 21, was charged with discharging a loaded firearm on June 20 at Troy Bishop at Albouystown with intent to maim, disfigure or inflict grievous bodily harm.

He was also charged with felonious wounding of Bishop on the same date at Albouystown.

Meanwhile Bishop along with Sherwin Monker was slapped with the same charge.

It is alleged that on June 20 also Monker, the number one defendant and Bishop, the number two named defendant, unlawfully and maliciously wounded Taylor at Albouystown.

They were also charged with unlawfully discharging a loaded firearm at Taylor, with intent to maim or disfigure.

Attorney-at-law Adrian Thompson representing Taylor told the court that the felonious wounding charge against his client was “trumped up,” while Bishop told the magistrate that he had nothing to do with either of the other two defendants and was just a passer-by on a bicycle and was shot in his shoulder.
The three men are to return to court on July 11.
