A man accused of hitting another with a stick via a video which went viral on social media last month, has earned his release from remand at Her Majesty’s Prison at Dodds.
Canute Hiran Ward, a 36-year-old gardener, of Dayrells Road, Christ Church, was been granted $10 000 bail earlier today. He had been accused of doing serious bodily harm to Ramar Nurse with intent to maim, disfigure or disable him, while at Fitts Village, St James, on January 2.
A video circulating on social media showing a man striking Nurse with a piece of wood, had caused a public outcry.
Ward who reappeared before Magistrate Wanda Blair this morning, was represented by Queen’s Counsel Michael Lashley, Dayna Taylor-Lavine and Kadisha Wickham.
He returns to court on June 7. (RA)
