AARON Mohabir, known as ‘Bolo’, was on Monday granted $100,000 bail after police instituted a charge of felonious wounding against him.Mohabir was previously charged with attempted murder but that charge was withdrawn against him and a lesser charge was filed.

The 21-year-old defendant was not required to plead to the charge which was amended to read that on February 28, 2015, at Angoy’s Avenue he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Ajay Kissoon with intent to maim, disfigure or cause grevious bodily harm.

At his initial court appearance Mohabir said four persons had attacked him.
“Maam, three of them rushed to me and I ran away. I did not do him anything. It was four of them on me alone. I ran in my uncle’s yard then into a neighbour yard. Then I went to my mother at Edinburgh Village, (East Bank Berbice). I was afraid to go to the station cause it was my first incident.”

Police Corporal Desiree Pilgrim, prosecuting, told the court that the defendant, a resident of Friendship, Berbice River, fled from the scene, and it was through intense police investigations that he was arrested days after the alleged incident.

The facts revealed that the defendant and the virtual complainant are friends and together they were at a wedding house, where they were consuming alcohol.

However, an argument erupted between the defendant and others, while Kissoon who acted as a peace maker was stabbed to his abdomen. He was taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was admitted and treated. The matter is fixed for statements on July 17.
