A man accused of brutally beating an employee was yesterday charged with unlawful wounding.
Joshua Cummings appeared before Magistrate Clive Nurse at the Wales Magistrate’s Court, where he denied the charge. It is alleged that on May 24th, Cummings unlawfully wounded Dwayne Wilkinson.
Cummings was represented by attorney Jermone Khan, who secured his client’s release on $35,000 bail.
The matter has been adjourned to July 4th, when it will be heard at the Linden Magistrate’s Court.
Stabroek News was told that Wilkinson has alleged that he was beaten by a group of men that were hired by Cummings. At the time of the alleged beating, Wilkinson was reportedly accompanying Cummings to Silver Hill, Linden-Soesdyke Highway, to collect an engine.
