A MAN accused of attempted murder was denied bail yesterday while another man who violated his bail conditions for an armed robbery charge was ordered to pay a fine.
Mario Brown, 32, represented by attorney Ian Cargill, appeared before Senior Justice Bernard Turner for a determination on his bail application on a charge of attempted murder.
On September 4, Brown is alleged to have attempted to kill Richard Turnquest with a handgun.
After reviewing the facts in his case and because Brown has other pending charges, Justice Turner formally denied the bail request. The accused will remain on remand at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Another man, Andre Lightbourn, 27, stood before Magistrate Kendra Kelly on three counts of violation of bail conditions.
This is in connection with his Supreme Court bail for armed robbery. The prosecution alleges that on July 15 in New Providence, he, along with another person, robbed Sheridan Gibson at gunpoint of her brown Nissan Cube and $48 in cash.
Between October 8 and November 17, Lightbourn failed to charge his electronic monitoring device on three occasions.
In court, the accused pleaded guilty to the offence.
He was ordered to pay a $3,000 fine for the bail breach or risk six months in custody.
