Forty-nine-year-old Collis Sancho of Grove, East Bank Demerara was yesterday remanded to prison when he appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court on a charge of attempting to murder a man by stabbing him with a knife.
He was not required to enter a plea to the indictable charge of attempting to commit murder.
The allegation is that on February 20, with intent to commit murder he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Aubrey McKinnon.
When asked by the magistrate if he had anything to say, Sancho stated “ah guilty” although the magistrate informed him that he could not plead at the time.
McKinnon’s brother Toney McKinnon stated that for the last six years Sancho and his brother had a problem and on the day of the incident his brother had just disembarked a taxi in front of his workplace when Sancho approached him and started stabbing him.
Prosecutor Stephen Telford stated that McKinnon was stabbed to his left rib and lower abdomen.
Sancho is scheduled to make another court appearance on March 30.
