A MURDER suspect has been remanded after he was accused of breaching his bail.
Clarington Bowleg, 31, represented by Ian Cargill, faced Magistrate Kara Turnquest-Deveaux on seven counts of violation of bail conditions.
Bail had been granted by the Supreme Court after he was accused of the fatal shooting of Anthony Petit on Barret Street, Harbour Island, on February 5, 2021.
It is alleged that between February 14 and March 1 this year the accused failed to charge his court imposed electronic monitoring device (EMD) on five occasions. Bowleg is further accused of failing to sign in at the Harbour Island Police Station on March 24 and 29.
He pleaded not guilty. His counsel said Bowleg had informed his local station that he would be unable to sign in on the days in question because he was sick. Mr Cargill also said EMDs have a tendency to malfunction. The lawyer said it is a prevalent issue.
With the prosecution objecting to bail, Bowleg was sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services. His trial is set for June 28.
