NIGEL Abrams, also known as Nigel Abraham, a 32-year-old from Black Water, North-West District, Region One, pleaded guilty to attempted murder.
Abrams appeared before Justice Peter Hugh at the Demerara High Court on Thursday and will be sentenced on October 17, 2024.

The charge stemmed from an incident on April 17, 2022, where Abrams unlawfully wounded 19-year-old Ron Moonsammy with the intent to murder him.
Reports indicated that the altercation occurred after a drinking session involving Abrams, his 17-year-old stepson Daniel Wilson, and Wilson’s cousin, Moonsammy.
A heated argument broke out between Abrams and Wilson, leading to Moonsammy intervening to protect his cousin. In response, Abrams stabbed Moonsammy in the chest, leaving him critically injured. Moonsammy was rushed to the Mabaruma Public Hospital before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) for further treatment.

In addition to the attempted murder charge, Abrams has been indicted for the murder of Wilson, who died from injuries sustained during the same altercation.
He is currently awaiting trial for that case.
Justice Hugh postponed sentencing for the attempted murder charge to allow time for the preparation of a probation report, victim impact statements, and submissions of aggravating and mitigating factors. Attorney Caressa Henry is representing the prosecution, while defence counsel, Madan Kissoon, is defending Abrams.
