A man was yesterday accused of fatally shooting another man with a bow and arrow at Micobie Village, Potaro.
Jones Raymond was refused bail and remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry after he was arraigned on the capital charge of murder. It is alleged that he murdered Gary Joseph sometime between December 26 and December 27.
At Court 1 at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, the prosecution said Joseph and several friends were drinking at a shop when the defendant inquired from him about what he had done to his son. The accused, armed with an arrow and bow, then allegedly shot Joseph. The injured man was then rushed to the Mahdia Hospital, from where he was later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Raymond was not required to plea to the charge and the case was transferred to the Mahdia Magistrate’s Court for January 16, 2013.
