East Ruimveldt man remanded over grievous bodily harm

A  man was on Friday refused bail after he pleaded not guilty to a charge of unlawful wounding.

Nkosi Gittens, of 36 East Ruimveldt, Georgetown was read a charge which stated that on July 18, at Middle Road, La Penitence, he unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm on Ronnel Hawke.

Gittens denied the charge after it was read to him by Magistrate Leron Daly.

Police Prosecutor Corporal Harris objected to the defendant being granted bail, stating that the defendant had given the police a very vague address when he was asked to do so.

Gittens was refused bail by Magistrate Daly and subsequently remanded to prison. The matter is adjourned until August 11.
