A visibly injured Royston Jones appeared yesterday before Magistrate Judy Latchman and was
remanded to prison until December 13, on an attempted murder charge.
Jones, 57, a farmer, of Port Kaituma, was not required to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that on November 28, at Main Road, Port Kaituma, he caused grievous bodily harm to Andel Edwards, with intent to commit murder.
Police Prosecutor Shawn Gonsalves opposed bail for the accused on the grounds that the virtual complainant is still hospitalized in a critical condition.
Prosecutor Gonsalves also pointed out the gravity of the charge and penalty the offence attracts. He said there is a likelihood Jones might not return to court if granted bail.
Magistrate Latchman upheld the objections.
