FORMER Guyana Defence Force Soldier Sergeant Rawle Glasgow, 49, of 8 Enterprise Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara who up to two weeks ago was employed as a security guard appeared in the Vigilance Magistrate Court on Friday charged with attempted murder, attempt to commit a felony and setting fire to a dwelling house.The man pleaded not guilty to the charges but was remanded to prison and will return on September 12.

Glasgow was accused two weeks ago of setting fire on the home in which his family resides. The man then went into hiding and consumed a poisonous substance and was later caught and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was immediately placed under guard.
Prior to setting the home ablaze the man had threatened his family that he would kill them all but no one took him seriously and no one knew what caused him to attempt the act which would have confirmed his threat to them.
There were reports that the man became enraged when he returned home and saw his wife with a doll with needles sticking out of it, something that is widely considered by many as a witchcraft and voodoo practice. He lived at the home with his wife, three children and mother.
