Maryann Daby, who was freed of a charge of attempting to murder a Police Constable by pointing a gun to his head and pulling the trigger, has also been freed of a firearm possession charge.
Daby, of Lot 127 D’Aguiar Park, Houston, was freed of the charge on July 17th by Senior Magistrate Leron Daly.
The charge stated that on May 13th, 2018, at Albert Street and Thomas Lands, Georgetown, Daby had a .32 pistol and six .32 rounds in her possession without being the holder of a firearm licence.
She was previously freed of a charge which alleged that on May 13th, 2018, at the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), located at Albert Street and Thomas Lands, Georgetown, with intent to commit murder, she discharged a loaded firearm at Constable 24785 Christopher Kissoon, after Magistrate Daly ruled that a prima facie case was not made out against her. The magistrate had also noted that the testimonies of policemen Kissoon, John Holder, Gary McAllister and one of the arresting ranks were “conflicting and not credible.”
As it relates to McAllister, Magistrate Daly noted that it was found that the .32 pistol and .32 ammunition which McAllister said he placed in the evidence bag in his statement were not the same when the said evidence bag was presented to court during the Preliminary Inquiry.
