UG student, designer on bail after altercation over birthday dress

Two women were yesterday released on $5,000 bail each after they both denied charges stemming from a misunderstanding over a birthday dress.

Keisha Edwards, 34, of Front Road, East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, Georgetown, and 25-year-old Melissa Calder of Diamond, East Bank Demerara, were yesterday before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court where they each denied a malicious wounding charge.

It is alleged that Calder, a full-time University of Guyana student, on June 16 at Georgetown, unlawfully and maliciously wounded Edwards. On the other hand, Edwards, who is the owner of Shasha Designs, was charged with unlawfully and maliciously wounding Calder.
