Suspect charged with trying to kill national footballer

Oswald Andrews

Oswald Andrews, the man who police say is responsible for the stabbing of national footballer Rensford Coleridge, was yesterday charged with attempted murder.

The court of Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan heard that on July 19, at Queen Street, South Cummingsburg, Oswald Andrews, 48, unlawfully and maliciously wounded Coleridge, with intent to commit murder.

Andrews, who entered the city courtroom with the aid of crutches, was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
