A 25-year-old security guard has been remanded to prison for discharging a loaded firearm with intent, which is contrary to Section 55(a) of the Criminal Law Offence Act Chapter 8:01.
Kadeem Andrews of Crane Housing Scheme, West Coast Demerara (WCD) appeared before Magistrate Zamilla Ali-Seepaul at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court where he was not required to plead.
