Five witnesses are expected to testify when Maryann Daby, who is accused of unlawful possession of a gun and ammunition, goes on trial later this month.
The charges against Daby allege that on May 13th, 2018, at Albert Street and Thomas Lands, Georgetown, she had a .32 pistol and six .32 rounds of ammunition in her possession without being the holder of a firearm licence.
During a hearing yesterday, attorney Mark Waldron, who is representing Daby, told the court that Prosecutor Richard Harris had informed him that five Police Officers will be testifying against his client. The trial is expected to commence on September 25th at 10 am, before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court Two.
The charges stem from an incident at the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club, where it was alleged that Daby put a gun to the head of a policeman and squeezed the trigger. However, the weapon did not go off.
Daby was subsequently charged with attempted murder but was cleared in July after Magistrate Daly ruled that the prosecution’s case was not credible.
