Murder convict Calvin Bailey, who is currently serving a 15 year sentence at the Georgetown Prison for murder, on Wednesday appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann Mclennan, charged with wounding another prisoner.
Baily called ‘Lava’ pleaded not guilty to the charge which alleged that on November 6 at the Georgetown Prison, Camp Street, he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Dwain King.
The unrepresented 33-year-old was remanded to prison and will make his next court appearance on November 18. According to reports, on the day in question, King was stabbed twice with an improvised weapon during an argument with Bailey in a section of the prison known as the “New Wing Division.”
The report details that King, who is convicted for narcotics trafficking, had been in contact with Bailey’s girlfriend and a heated confrontation ensued when he [Bailey] found out.
Baily was charged in April 2007, for murdering his 18-month-old son, Shaquan Nero, during an altercation with the child’s mother, Bernadette Nero. In March after three hung jury trials, he was freed from the charges at the High Court but was immediately rearrested in relation to another charge of murder, where he pleaded guilty and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment.
Bailey has repeatedly clashed with prison wardens and other inmates during his incarceration. In May 2014, Bailey sustained injuries when he set a mattress on fire and allegedly attacked a prison officer.
