Court to rule on no-case submission against Maryann Daby

SENIOR Magistrate Leron Daly is expected to rule on a no-case submission 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.
On Monday, June 03, 2019, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, Police Prosecutor Richard Harris, replied to the no-case submission and contended that a sufficient case was made out against Daby for her to lead a defence in the Preliminary Inquiry.

Magistrate Daly adjourned the matter until June 17, 2019, for her ruling.
Waldron had made a no-case submission on the grounds 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.

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 alleged that, on the same day, she had in her possession a .32 pistol and six matching rounds of ammunition for which she was not licensed to carry.

Daby, 26, the Finance Manager of United Commodities, is currently out on $750,000 High Court bail. 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.
