A MAN was remanded to prison yesterday after he allegedly attempted to kill another man at a dock in Eleuthera last weekend.

Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley charged Janald Farrington, 34, with attempted murder.

Farrington was also charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.

Farrington is accused of attempting to shoot Shervin Emmanuel with a black coloured .38 special revolver at a dock in Hatchet Bay, Eleuthera around 1pm on December 10. During this altercation, Mr Emmanuel reportedly disarmed his assailant.

Farrington was later arrested for alleged possession of a fireman and two rounds of .38 ammunition.

The accused was told his matter would be transferred to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). Farrington will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the higher court grants him bail.

His VBI is set for service on April 18, 2024.
