George Chiddick Denied Bail; Remanded to Prison
SOURCE: STATE MEDIA
George Akeba Chiddick has been remanded to His Majesty’s Prison following his first court appearance in St. John’s Magistrate Court on serious firearm-related charges.
The Gray’s Farm resident faces accusations of shooting with intent to do grievous bodily harm, possession of a .32 pistol and a matching bullet, and using a firearm to commit an offence.
The charges stem from an incident at his No. 3 George Street home last Tuesday, where police say a young woman was shot in her leg.
At this morning’s hearing, Magistrate Dale Hamilton Jr. noted that only the High Court can grant bail for firearm offences.
Committal proceedings set to begin October 10 will determine if the case will advance to the High Court.
