Following a hearing at the High Court in Berbice yesterday, bail was refused by Justice Navindra Singh for a Vryheid, West Canje Berbice businessman who was charged with attempted murder on February 1st.
Krishna Persaud, of Lot 40 Vryheid Village had appeared at the Number 51 Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh where he was charged with attempting to murder Deoranie Badal also known as “Marcy”, 36.
Persaud was remanded to prison on the charge of attempted murder, however, his attorney Mursaline Bacchus filed a bail application in the High Court in Berbice last week.
After the matter was called yesterday morning, Justice Singh refused bail, as such Persaud will remain on remand and return to the Whim Magistrate’s Court on February 18, for report.
At the bail hearing, the state was represented by Attorney at Law, Nafeeza Baig.
Last month, Badal was attacked around 1.10 pm while at the Jamrock Wash Bay when the assailant arrived and exited a motor car with a cutlass and walked up to her vehicle.
Stabroek News was told that in an effort to protect herself the woman exited the vehicle and attempted to make a run for it but the assailant grabbed on to her and dealt her several chops.
A police constable who was present at the wash bay then intervened and rushed the victim to the Port Mourant Public Hospital. She was then transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital and subsequently to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
She sustained three wounds to her head and one to her right hand.
