A Linden DJ, who was accused of hitting his drinking partner’s head with a gun during an argument, has been remanded to prison.
Kenal Jennings, 22, of Lot 515 Wismar, Linden, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court One on December 12th.
Jennings was not required to plead to the indictable charge, which alleged that on December 8th, at Four Corner, Wismar, Linden, he unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm upon Devon Anthony Williams.
According to the court prosecutor, the two men were consuming alcohol at a shop when they got into an argument, during which Jennings took out a firearm from his waist and dealt Williams several lashes to his head, causing him to suffer injuries.
While Jennings escaped, Williams was taken to the Linden Hospital Complex and was subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was admitted as a patient.
The prosecutor objected to bail being granted to Jennings, while citing the serious nature of the offence and the penalty the charge attracts. He further added that the firearm had not been recovered.
Jennings was subsequently remanded to prison. The matter was adjourned until December 30th, 2019, when it is to be heard at the Linden Magistrate’s Court.
