A FARMER of 186 Good Hope, East Coast Demerara, appeared before Magistrate Zamilla Ally at the Vigilance Magistrates’ Court on Thursday to answer to a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm. It was alleged that on Sunday 16th September, Deocharan Mulchand severely beat his customer, Mohammed Rafeek, with a cutlass, seriously injuring him.
Rafeek, who had gone to Mulchand’s premises to buy greens, suffered a laceration to his arm which carried 120 stitches as a result of several chops from the cutlass.
Mulchand was not required to plead to the charge.
Nonetheless, after perusing the facts before the court, Magistrate Zamilla Ally granted Mulchand his pre-trial liberty, and released him on $45,000 bail.
Mulchand is scheduled to return to court on October 1, 2012
