Keith Daniels, 19, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and pleaded not guilty to the charge which alleged that, on February 1, 2019, at Princeville, Mahdia, Potaro River, he wounded Lorenzo Williams with intent to maim, disfigure or cause grievous bodily harm.

Police Prosecutor Inspector Gordon Mansfield, told the court that, on the day in question, Daniels and Williams were at a bar consuming alcohol.

As a result, Daniels began throwing glass bottles at Williams, who managed to run away but fell in the process, a short distance away.
The prosecutor disclosed that Daniels armed himself with a glass bottle and began stabbing Williams about his body.
According to Mansfield, Williams suffered from lacerations to his head, face, neck, hands and arms.

The Chief Magistrate, with no objection from the prosecution, released Daniels on $150,000 bail, with the condition that he reports to the Mahdia Police Station every Friday.
