Tuschen man charged with attempted murder at Jaw Bone Backdam

Uriel Lewis, 37, of Tuschen Sideline Dam, West Coast Demerara, appeared yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus to answer to the charge of attempted murder.

It is alleged that on November 27, at Jaw Bone Backdam, North West District, Essequibo, Lewis wounded Marvin David with the intent to commit murder.

Lewis was not required to plead.

When the prosecutor was asked by the magistrate if there was any objection to bail, she replied in the negative citing the fact that the defendant was a first-time offender.

Lewis was placed on $150,000 bail with the condition that he reports to the Parika Police station every last Friday of every month.

The court was adjourned to February 5, 2024 at Matthews Ridge Magistrate’s Court.
