TWO men charged with unlawful wounding were both placed on $100,000 bail each by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, on Tuesday. Desmond Singh of Lot 81 Orange Walk, Bourda, Georgetown, and Vikram Samchan (no address given), were not required to plead to the indictable offence that said on Saturday, February 1 at La Penitence, Georgetown, they unlawfully and maliciously wounded Maurice Dashira.

Police Inspector Michael Grant, prosecuting, stated that on the day in question at La Penitence, Singh accused Dashira of slapping him.

The prosecutor said Singh and the other accused then gave Dashira a thrashing, causing him to suffer the injuries he received.

The prosecutor objected to bail, contending that there are still visible injuries which the victim suffered. He argued further that since they are known to each, there is a likelihood that they may tamper with the witness.
The objection was overruled, however, and the case was put off until tomorrow.
