A man was on Friday remanded to prison on an attempted murder charge after the court heard that he allegedly fired a shot in the direction of his daughter and her friend, wounding the latter, who has a bullet lodged in her chest.
Peter Thompson, of 76 Norton Street, Lodge, was hauled before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where the charge was read to him.
Thompson was not required to plead to the charge, which alleges that on July 29, at Lot 78 D’Urban Street, Lodge, Georgetown, he discharged a loaded firearm at Cherrie-Ann Wills, causing her to receive grievous bodily harm.
