A Hadfield Street resident was placed on remand when he appeared before the chief magistrate yesterday, to answer to two counts of gun, and one count of ammunition, possession charges.
Jermaine Flavius, 25, of Hadfield Street, Lodge, yesterday pleaded not guilty to the three charges, when he stood before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan. The charges read that Flavius, on September 30, at 17 Hadfield Street, Lodge, allegedly had one .32 Taurus pistol, one .38 special revolver and 7 rounds of .32 ammunition in his possession, while not being a holder of a firearm licence.
Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones told the court that the police file was incomplete due to an absent ballistics report on the weapons and the ammunition. Jones said the guns and the ammunition were found by the police during a murder investigation.
Flavius, who was subsequently remanded to prison by the chief magistrate, has to return to court on October 26, for a report and fixture on the matter.
