Escape accused Kishon Anderson Lemar Thomas wants the police to produce the file in his case so his heavy security could be reduced.
Thomas arrived at the District “A” Traffic Court yesterday under armed escort, in a separate vehicle,
and surrounded by lawmen and prison officers.
The 26-year-old, of Nicholls Road, Seaview, St James, was charged that being a person in the custody of the Barbados Prison Service, having been convicted of murder, he escaped lawful custody at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on May 2 this year, without the use of force.
He is also charged with assaulting Constable Fabian White and Constable Mitchell Alleyne in the execution of their duties on April 30.
Yesterday when he appeared before Magistrate Alison Burke, and after the prosecution had renewed its objection to his bail, Thomas asked the prosecution to produce the file “as soon as possible”.
Prosecutor Senior Constable Cindy Greaves told the court the file was not ready and requested an adjournment.
“It was escape without the use of force,” the accused later said, adding that was the reason for his heavy security detail.
“I ain’t fight nobody. I ain’t push down nobody and I still ain’t getting no phone calls. I didn’t get to see no person for the holidays,” he said.
“It is really stressful. I would really like the phone calls,” he added.
Magistrate Burke advised the accused to take up the issue with the Superintendent of Prison and remanded him back to Dodds until January 26 next year. (HLE)
