FOY Fredericks, charged with maliciously wounding his father, was granted $30,000 bail by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
It was alleged that on April 7, 2019, at 3490 Stevedore Housing Scheme, the 62-year-old man, unlawfully and maliciously wounded Derwin Fredericks. He denied committing the offence.

According to the prosecution, Foy, who resides in Princess Street, was reportedly involved in a heated argument with his father. As a result, he picked up a chopper from the kitchen and approached his grandmother with it; Derwin then ran in the path and used his hands to block the chop. During the process, he received injuries to the left palm and little finger. He then went to the East Ruimveldt Police Station where he made a report and the suspect was subsequently apprehended.

Foy will make his next court appearance on April 26, 2019.
