A MINER of St. Cuthbert Mission was Wednesday remanded to prison by Magistrate Ann McLennan on an attempt to commit murder charge.

Elton Dundas, 30, was not required to plead to the indictable charge that said on November 23 at Chinese Creek, he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Mark Ali with intent to commit murder.

Police Prosecutor Dinero Jones opposed bail on the grounds that the victim is still hospitalised after receiving several chops from the accused.
Meanwhile, the accused was seated as his matter was being heard. He explained that he cannot stand since he also received injuries from the fight.
Bail was refused for the unrepresented man and the matter was transferred to the Bartica Magistrate’s Court for December 3.
