Revelana Smith, also known as ‘Ducky,’ was committed to stand trial last week for the attempted murder of her ex-partner’s girlfriend.
Smith, a vendor of William Street, Kitty, Georgetown, was charged last year with wounding Renetta Bharrat, a policewoman, with intent to commit murder on March 26, 2019, at Pike Street, Kitty.
The ruling was handed down last Thursday by Senior Magistrate Leron Daly, who noted that the evidence presented during the preliminary inquiry (PI) was satisfactory and sufficient. Hence, she committed Smith to stand trial at the High Court.
During Smith’s first appearance, Police prosecutor Neville Jeffers had highlighted the seriousness of the crime and told the court that since the crime occurred, Smith had gone into hiding.
The court heard that on the day in question, Bharrat received a call to meet her boyfriend in Kitty. Upon arriving in Kitty, Bharrat saw Smith exit a car with a cutlass, which she then, allegedly, used to chop Bharrat about her body. It was reported that public-spirited persons rescued Bharrat and rushed her to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where she was admitted a patient. She was discharged sometime after.
Smith had reportedly fled the scene after the attack.
