The charge against Mark Murray, a rank from the City Police outpost who was accused of discharging a loaded firearm at a minibus driver, was dismissed yesterday, after the complainant told the court that he did not want to proceed with the matter.
Murray, during his last appearance in court, was granted bail in the sum of $75,000, after he pleaded not guilty to a charge, which stated that on September, 26, 2018 at Water Street, Georgetown, he discharged a loaded firearm at Paul John, with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or cause actual body harm.
During a hearing yesterday, John came forward in court and told Magistrate Faith McGusty that he wanted to drop charges against Murray because he, “Ain’t able come to court steady steady.”
John was granted his request and the matter was dismissed.
According to reports, during an altercation between the two men, Murray shot John in the leg, which resulted in John being hospitalised for a couple of days.
