A reduction of bail was yesterday granted to Yuniyka Bovell, the Canadian woman who was charged in October with the possession of 3.5 pounds of heroin.
With the prosecution unable to immediately start her trial, Bovell’s attorney made an appeal to Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan for a reduction, while noting that she was too poor to meet the $250,000 bail that was initially set.
Bovell, 19, of Guyhoc Park, is accused of having 1.602 kilogrammes (equivalent to 3.5 pounds), of heroin, in her possession on October 5 at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri.
