Miner gets bail on wounding charge

A miner was granted bail by a city magistrate on Monday after he denied wounding another man.

Dildeo Daniels denied the allegation that on May 31st, in the Potaro area, he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Donald Sharief, called “Duffy,” with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or cause bodily harm.

Police prosecutor Gordon Mansfield made no objection to bail being granted since the complainant in the matter was treated and discharged.

He, however, requested that conditions be applied.

As a result, acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus granted the accused his release on $80,000 bail but ordered that he report every Friday to Detective Corporal Scott at the Mahdia Police Station until the completion of the case.

The matter was then transferred to the Mahdia Magistrate’s Court, where it is to be called on July 16th.
