A MAN accused of attempted murder was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services by a Magistrate’s Court yesterday.

Duane Cargill, 28, represented by attorney Ian Cargill, appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain on a charge of attempted murder.

On August 10 in New Providence, the accused is alleged to have attempted to kill Malik Wright.

Due to the severity of the offence, Cargill was not required to enter a plea. He was informed that his case would proceed by way of a Voluntary Bill of Indictment (VBI).

While the accused was granted bail in court that day, his attorney moved to expedite his release by applying for emergency bail through the Supreme Court. This higher court is also where the accused’s trial will be held.

Until Cargill is granted bail, he will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.

Service of his VBI will be on November 21.
