– court told
Naresh Indall, who is accused of wilfully hitting down a woman on Croal Street with his car, was on Wednesday remanded to prison when he appeared before Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Indall, a 37-year-old father of one of 31 Seaforth Street, Campbellville pleaded not guilty to the charge of doing bodily harm by wanton misconduct.
He denied that on August 15 he was in charge of a car that he wantonly drove to cause actual bodily harm to Onsha Niles.
The prosecution told the court that Indall was recently charged for break and enter and larceny that he allegedly committed against Niles.
They said that on the day in question Indall drove up near Niles who was walking on Croal Street and offered her $100,000 to settle the matter but Niles refused it.
Indall then got upset and drove away, the prosecution said, proceeding west along Croal Street and then he turned into Albert Street.
The prosecution also stated that he then turned back into Croal Street and drove and hit down Niles who hadn’t walked far from where they had spoken.
Meanwhile, attorney-at-law Euclin Gomes stated that his client had been acquitted of the break and enter and larceny charge because Niles never appeared in court.
He said that since the beginning of that case Niles had been interfering and spreading false rumours about his client.
“There is no charge pending against him (Indall),” stated Gomes.
The lawyer then applied for bail for his client on the grounds that he posed no risk of flight and that he had reported to court when he needed to in the larceny case with Niles. He said that his client will do so in this case.
He then stated that “I can’t say the same for the VC (Niles) because she had appeared in court on various names whenever she felt like.”
Gomes also noted that since the larceny case was laid against his client he had not made any contact with Niles.
However, Prosecutor Denise Griffith stated that the break and enter and larceny matter is still pending against Indall and it was fixed for yesterday in Court Six.
She objected to the bail application and requested that the magistrate transfer this matter to Court Six.
She said that Indall had been seen by Niles coming out of her house on the day of the break-in and that was how he was implicated in the case.
The magistrate then ordered that Indall be remanded to prison and transferred the matter to Court Six for September 15.
