A FATHER of three was Thursday granted $100,000 bail by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on a charge of wounding. 

Thirty-one-year-old Mark Anthony Marks also known as ”Country,” pleaded not guilty to the offence when it was read to him.
Details of the allegation stated that on January 20 at Rupunnuni, he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Dexter Mentore with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or cause harm.
Police Prosecutor Michael Grant did not oppose bail for the defendant.
Representing Marks was attorney-at-law Mr. Jerome Khan. He told the court that his client has been in custody since February 8, 2015. He requested bail for Marks, stating that he has been cooperating with the police and was nowhere next to the crime scene on the day in question.
Defence counsel informed the court that his client intends to stoutly defend himself against the allegation.
The defendant was ordered to report every fortnight to the subordinate officer at the Lethem Police Station. The matter was transferred to the Lethem Magistrate’s Court for March 9.
