A man, who restrained another to be chopped because of a quarrel over the winnings of a gamble, is now awaiting sentencing after being convicted on the charge of attempted murder.
A 12-member jury yesterday afternoon unanimously convicted Alfred Braithwaite of wounding Shefton Hamer on January 27th, 2017, with the intention of murdering him.
Following the announcement of the verdict, Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall informed Braithwaite that he would be remanded to prison to await sentencing which has been deferred to April 22nd, pending the presentation of a probation report and impact statement from the victim.
