Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton yesterday ordered that a man be remanded to prison when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for allegedly being found with an unlicensed firearm and a quantity of matching ammunition.
Junior Abrams of Spurwing Drive, South Ruimveldt Park, pleaded not guilty to the charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition. He denied that on November 11 he had a .32 Taurus revolver and three live rounds of .32 ammunition without being the owner of a valid firearm licence.
Prosecutor Joel Ricknauth requested that Abrams be remanded to prison and that a date be set for his trial. Abrams is expected to make another court appearance on February 10 next year.
