TWO brothers charged with unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to commit murder were yesterday refused bail by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

Michael Bishwanauth, 36 and Mahase Bishwanauth, 49, both of Lot 36 Fourth Street, La Penitence, Georgetown, were not required to plead to the indictable offence that said on December 21 at La Penitence, Georgetown, they unlawfully and maliciously wounded Jamal Corwin Joe with intent to commit murder.
Police Prosecutor Michael Grant opposed bail for the duo on the basis of the nature and gravity of the offence
He further objected on the ground that Joe is still in a serious condition at the hospital.
The duo’s defence attorney told the court that on the day in question, one of the defendants found his brother in an altercation with the victim. He added that the brother went over to make peace and saw blood on his brother’s shirt.
Defence counsel said that his clients are willing to abide by any decision made by the court.
The prosecution’s objection was upheld and both men were remanded to prison until December 29.
