CALVIN Stacy was on Monday remanded to prison on a wounding charge after the court heard that he has no fixed place of abode.It is alleged that Stacy, on Tuesday March 10, 2015 at Water Street, Georgetown, unlawfully and maliciously wounded Trenton Benn to cause him grievous bodily harm.

Stacy, however, denied the charge which was read by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

According to the prosecution, the altercation which culminated in Benn being wounded resulted from an argument the two men had earlier that day.

Benn was walking south along Water Street when it is alleged that Stacy approached him, dealt him several stab wounds to his belly, and made good his escape as Benn lay unconscious. Benn was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital by public-spirited citizens and was admitted.

Police Prosecutor Bharrat Mangru told the court that the defendant has no fixed address and Stacy was on remand since March 13th because Benn was still hospitalised.
Bail was refused and statements were ordered for April 11 before City Magistrate Annette Singh.
