A MAN was sent to prison Wednesday after being accused in Magistrate’s Court of a failed murder bid.
Montre David, 24, represented by attorney Bjorn Ferguson, stood before Magistrate Samuel McKinney on a charge of attempted murder.
According to police reports on the night of September 8 in Dignity Gardens, David is alleged to have shot Billy Cejour, who while being hit multiple times about the body survived his injuries.
Due to the severity of the offence, the defendant was not required to enter a plea in court. As such he was informed that his matter would be fast tracked to the Supreme Court by way of a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
David was further informed that as the magistrate lacked the jurisdiction to grant him bail he would have to apply for it through the higher court.
Until such time that bail is granted to him the accused will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Service of David’s VBI is slated for December 12.
