A MAN awaiting trial for attempted murder was fined yesterday after admitting to breaching his bail conditions for more than 100 days.
Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville arraigned 28-year-old Horatio Saunders on a charge of violating bail conditions.
While on bail for a pending charge of attempted murder, Saunders failed to sign in at his local police station as required, for 152 days between August 29, 2024, and March 28, 2025, in New Providence.
Saunders pleaded guilty to the charge. His attorney, Ian Jupp, said Saunders was remorseful and requested that his client be spared a custodial sentence.
Saunders was fined $4,500, with the option of serving a six-month prison term if he fails to pay. He must pay $500 before his release, with the remaining balance to be paid by the end of June.
Inspector Cordero Farrington served as the prosecutor.
