The reading of an attempted murder charge against Nigel Henry and Jermaine Alonzo, the two men who allegedly attacked gold miner Oris Moonsammy at Baramita, in Region One, has been deferred until next month after police were unable to secure a translator who could relate the allegations to the men.
Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday transferred the case to at the Mabaruma Magis-trate’s Court, where the charge is expected to be read next month.
After the two men were brought to the city court on Thursday afternoon it was discovered that one of them didn’t speak English but was well versed in the indigenous Carib language. As a result, the matter was stood down to allow the prosecutor to try to locate a translator.
