Article by April 20, 2021
The Chief Magistrate on Monday remanded a young farmer to Her Majesty’s Prison Dodds in connection with charges of assaulting his girlfriend several times, theft and escape.
Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes said he would not remand Tristan Hakeem Bourne, 24, of Cummings Road, Brittons Hill, St Michael, for the prescribed 28-day period but for 16 days as he believed that there was a need for “a little distance” given the charges levelled against him.
Represented by attorney-at-law Kendrid Sargeant, the accused man appeared before the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court and entered not guilty pleas to seven offences.
