EUGENE Rouse was remanded to prison, by Magistrate Leron Daley yesterday, on a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm.

He was charged indictably with having, on January 26, unlawfully and maliciously, committed the offence on Haslyn Richards, also with intent to maim or disfigure him.
Police Corporal Vinetta Pindar, prosecuting, successfully objected to bail for the accused, on the ground that he and the virtual complainant’s niece are involved in a relationship and live in the same home.
The prosecutor said it is likely that, if pre-trial liberty is allowed the accused would interfere with the virtual complainant.
Attorney-at-law Mr. Paul Fung-a-Fat, for the accused, said the virtual complainant was beating Rouse’s girlfriend and Richards intervened to save her.
The magistrate upheld the objection and ordered that Rouse remain imprisoned until February 11.
