A TEENAGER was on Friday charged with attempted murder after he appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The 17-year-old resident of Alexander Village was not required to plead to the matter as it is indictable.

The particulars of the charge states that on November 10, 2018 at Campbell Head, Kaneville Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD), the teen unlawfully wounded Ryan Sumire with intent to commit murder.
The teen was represented by Attorney-at-Law Stanley Moore, who respectfully applied for a bail application.

Police Prosecutor, Neville Jeffers objected to bail due to the seriousness of the offence and the penalty that it attracts and also the fact that a gun was used to commit the act.
The court heard that the teen allegedly shot the victim two times to his chest. He was subsequently rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Cooperation (GPHC) and admitted as a patient.

However the Magistrate refused bail and the teen was remanded to prison until December 18, 2018.
