Man cleared of shooting another on Freeman St in 2017

Osafo Swain

Six years after the allegation had been levelled against him, Osafo Swain has been cleared of a charge of attempting to take the life of Ewart Blair, who he was alleged to have shot.

Following hours of deliberation yesterday afternoon, a 12-member jury returned a unanimous verdict, finding Swain not guilty.

The charge previously levelled against him stated that on July 26th, 2017 in Georgetown, he discharged a loaded firearm at Blair, with intent to maim, disfigure or disable him.
