The accused, who allegedly confessed to Police, made his appearance before Magistrate Wanda Fortune at the Linden Magistrates Court earlier today to answer to a charge of felonious wounding.
He was remanded to prison until February 25, 2019. It was reported that 50-year-old Williams was attacked by a group of men at Mabura, Region 10 (Upper Demerara- Berbice).
According to Police, the victim of Lot 47 Miles, Mabura and the alleged perpetrators are known to each other, and would usually argue from time to time due to misunderstandings.
It was reported that the men were at Vieira’s shop at Mabura consuming alcohol when the victim started to argue with him and another suspect.
