Leon Murray

After admitting to breaking his neighbour’s nose and damaging his glasses, a man has been given a chance to avoid prison if he can pay over a total of $60,000 in compensation by today.

Leon Murray, 35, admitted to the crimes after the charges were read to him by Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty in Georgetown.

The court heard that on September 5th, in the vicinity of Georgetown, Murray inflicted grievous bodily harm upon Shawn Solomon. Further, it was also alleged that on the same day Murray maliciously damaged a pair of spectacles, valued $30,000, which was the property of Solomon.
