A MAN was charged in Magistrate’s Court yesterday in connection with an attempted murder on Goggle Eye Road earlier this month.

Craig Deveaux, 22, stood before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson Pratt on charges of attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

Deveaux, being concerned with others, is accused of attempting to kill Kenton Pollard with a black handgun on October 12.

Given the severity of the offence the accused was not required to enter a plea in court. He was informed that his matter would proceed to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).

He has the right to apply for bail in the Supreme Court.

Until bail is granted, the accused will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.

The VBI is set for service in February.
