SAMUEL Adams of Sophia, Georgetown, was remanded to prison on Tuesday after he was charged with two counts of attempted murder, one count of robbery under arms and attempted robbery.
The court heard that the 29-year-old and Kurt Kendall, while armed with a gun on February 13, 2017, at Mandela Avenue, Georgetown, discharged a loaded firearm at Christopher Marks with intent to murder him.
An arrest warrant has since been issued for Kendall. The other attempted murder charge stated that on December 6, 2016, Adams discharged a loaded firearm with intent to murder John Bryan in Georgetown. It is also alleged that on the same day, he robbed Bryan.
It is further alleged that on February 3, 2017, Adams attempted to rob Ramproop Ramnauth of cash at Mandela Avenue, Georgetown. Attorney- at- Law Dexter Todd, who represented Adams, stated that both he and his client are not aware of three of the four charges.
The lawyer claimed that his client was physically assaulted by the police while he was held for questioning. Police prosecutor Deniro Jones objected to bail, citing the penalty attached to the offences and the gravity of the charges. Bail was refused and the matter was adjourned until March 22, 2017.
