Miner accused of beating sister, grandfather

A MINER accused of beating his grandfather with a piece of wood and assaulting his sister, was released on bail by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on Friday.

Delroy Williams, 21, pleaded not guilty to the charge which alleged that on February 23, 2017 at Co-op Village, Mahdia, he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Clifton Williams, his grandfather.

He also denied that on the said day, he unlawfully assaulted his sister, Louisiano Williams so as to cause her actual bodily harm. According to reports, on the day in question there was a misunderstanding between Williams and his grandfather. Williams became annoyed, allegedly armed himself with a piece of wood and dealt his grandfather lashes about the body.

Williams’ sister however rushed to her grandfather’s aid but was also allegedly beaten by her brother. The two were rushed to the hospital, where they were treated and subsequently released. The grandfather suffered from lacerations to the head and a fractured bone.

Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones did not object to bail; the accused did not have legal representation. The Chief Magistrate released the miner on $75,000 bail and transferred the matter to the Mahdia Magistrate’s Court for April 18, 2017.
