Ravello Tyndall, who is charged with raping three teenage boys, was yesterday remanded to prison after he was arraigned for the attempted murder of one them.
Tyndall, of Auchlyne Village, Corentyne, Berbice, appeared before Magistrate Alex Moore at the Whim Magistrate’s Court, where he was faced with the charge.
It is alleged that on Thursday, January 20, with the intent to commit murder, he discharged a loaded firearm at the teen.
Bail was denied for Tyndall, who was not required to enter a plea to the charge.
He is due to return to court on February 8 for his next hearing.
In October last year, Tyndall was charged separately with sexually assaulting three boys, who are ages 15, 16 and 17, sometime between January 1 and October 8. Initially, he was remanded to prison on that charge but then made bail. Those matters are currently before the magistrate’s court as well.
Stabroek News previously reported that the teenager, 17, sustained gunshot injuries to his mouth and the left side of his buttocks. He was rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital just after the 10.30 pm incident but was later transferred to another hospital where up to yesterday he remained hospitalized in a serious but stable condition.
According to a relative, the young man identified the accused and related that he (the accused) was allegedly hiding underneath stairs before shooting at him.
