A WOMAN accused of murder was sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services yesterday for allegedly violating the terms of her bail.
Victoria Gibson, 24, faced Magistrate Kendra Kelly on charges of violating conditions of bail and two counts of damage.
She is accused of violating her bail conditions between August 19-22 in relation to her murder charge for the 2017 killing of Terenora Stubbs. Stubbs died from stab wounds.
After receiving bail in 2019, she allegedly tampered with and damaged her electronic monitoring device on August 22. This device is valued at $841.50 and is the property of Metro Security Solutions.
Gibson is additionally charged with causing $300 worth of damage to a window of Alden Teffari Ferguson’s residence on Burial Ground Corner on August 22.
After electing to continue her case in the Magistrate’s Court, Gibson pleaded not guilty to all three charges.
Prosecutor Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom objected to the accused’s bail.
In response, Gibson protested being placed back in custody stating that she is the mother of a young child. She went on to claim that her electronic monitoring device was only damaged when she tried to hop a fence while she was running away from her boyfriend. She said that the second she realised her ankle monitor was broken she went to the nearest police station to report the issue.
Sgt Pyfrom then informed Gibson that the court intended to proceed with the charge as the information in her case file conflicts with her story.
She was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services. Magistrate Kelly informed Gibson that she can apply to the Supreme Court for bail.
Gibson’s trial in this matter is set for October 11.
