AFTER a Chinese national was attacked in his store on East Street South last week, a man faced court yesterday accused of attempting to murder him.
Cervago “Vargo” Gaitor , 24, faced Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on a charge of attempted murder, and was remanded in custody.
Shortly after noon on June 4, Gaitor allegedly went into a store on East Street South, purchased an item from Jien Mei and left. It is said the accused returned to the store soon after and shot the 53-year-old businessman in his upper body before fleeing on foot.
Mei was successfully treated for his injuries at the hospital.
The accused’s Voluntary Bill of Indictment is set for service on August 1. Gaitor will remain in custody until he is granted bail by the Supreme Court.
