Taxi driver accused of stabbing man in chest over $2,000 debt

Morris Carter

A taxi-driver, who is accused of stabbing a man with a pair of scissors during an argument over $2,000, was yesterday remanded to prison after he was charged with attempted murder.

Thirty-two-year-old Morris Carter was not required to plead to the indictable charge, which was read to him by Magistrate Clive Nurse in a Georgetown court.

The charge alleges that on August 27th, at Sandy Babb Street, Kitty, with intent to commit murder, Carter unlawfully wounded Matthew Gilbert.

Police Prosecutor Christopher Morris objected to bail being granted to Carter given the nature of the offence and the fact that Gilbert is currently hospitalised.
