A MAN is in custody after allegedly breaking into his girlfriend’s house in Cat Island last month and threatening to kill her.

Pedro Miller was charged with housebreaking, threats of death and causing harm before Magistrate Algernon Allen, Jr.

Miller allegedly broke into Albertha Nottage’s home in Bain Town, South Cat Island, on June 25 and attacked and injured Ms Nottage.

After electing to continue his case before the magistrate, Miller pleaded not guilty.

During his bail application, Miller’s attorney, Alphonso Lewis, said the victim was the defendant’s girlfriend. He cited Miller’s presumption of innocence until proven guilty in calling him a fit candidate for bail.

Miller’s bail was set at $6,000 with one or two sureties. Under this, he must sign in at the Alice Town Police Station every Monday and Friday by 6pm.
