A Kitty resident was yesterday taken before a city court on a charge of attempted murder.
It is alleged that Quincy Evans, on August 28th, at Gordon Street, Kitty, wounded Joshua Williams with the intent to commit murder.
Evans, 24, of 59 Gordon Street, Kitty, was not required to plead to the offence.
Police prosecutor Gordon Mansfield made no objection to the accused being granted bail but requested that conditions be applied.
The prosecutor noted that on the day in question, Evans and Williams had an argument. As a result, Evans allegedly whipped out a sharp instrument, which he then used to inflict chop injuries on Williams. Williams was later rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was a patient for three days before being discharged.
Evans was asked to post $120,000 bail for his release. He was also ordered to surrender his valid passport to the clerk of court at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, report to the subordinate officer in charge of the Kitty Police Station every Friday at 8 am, and not to go within 50 feet of Williams or make contact with Williams or any members of his family.
Evans was also placed under the supervision of a probation officer.
The matter was adjourn-ed until October 14th.
