VICTOR ‘Poison’ Pindar, also called Sherwin Pindar, 41, of Lot 295 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was on Tuesday committed to stand trial in the High Court for attempting to commit murder, details of which relate that on October 21, 2013, at Leopold Street, Georgetown, the porter committed the crime on Carsdale Aaron.

That preliminary inquiry (PI) commenced on February 10 and the accused was remanded to prison during his trial, which was conducted before Magistrate Ann McLennan.

When the case was first called, Police Sergeant, Neville Jeffers, prosecuting, said that Aaron and Pindar had a misunderstanding over a lost cellular phone. A confrontation ensued, after Pindar became annoyed and stabbed Aaron several times about his body with a knife.

Aaron was hospitalised for some time after the incident, and later lost a kidney due to the injuries he had suffered at the hands of Pindar.
