–in Daby attempted murder trial, matter adjourned until June 3

A no-case submission was on Tuesday made by attorney-at-law Mark Waldron in favour of his client Maryann Daby, who is charged for attempting to murder a policeman, and the unlawful possession of a gun and ammunition.
Daby, 26, the Finance Manager of United Commodities, is on trial before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court where the matter is being prosecuted by Richard Harris.
It is alleged that on May 13, 2018 at Albert Street, Thomas Lands, Daby discharged a firearm at Police Constable Christopher Kissoon with intent to commit murder.
The two other charges with which she was slapped allege that on the same day, she had in her posession a .32 pistol and six matching rounds of ammunition for which she was not licensed to carry.
Daby is currently out on $750,000 High Court bail.
When the matter was called on Tuesday, her attorney in presenting his no-case submission contended that the victim, Kissoon did not identify Daby as the shooter, and that the gun she is alleged to have used was not tendered in court.

The incident reportedly occurred in the compound of the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) at Thomas Lands.

According to the police, on the day in question, Constable Kissoon had cause to approach Daby after she was seen firing shots in the air, and as he drew near,
she placed the gun to his forehead and promptly pulled the trigger. Fortunately for him, the gun was empty.

The matter has been adjourned until June 3, 2019 to give the prosecutor an opportunity to respond.
