A MAN was remanded yesterday in connection with the attempted murder of a woman two years ago.
Rashad Nesbitt, 28, appeared before Magistrate Shaka Serville on a charge of attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
It is alleged that on November 27, 2021, in New Providence, Nesbitt while armed with a 9mm pistol attempted to cause the death of Shirleymae Laing.
As this is an indictable offence, Nesbitt was not required to enter a plea in court at that time. He was informed that his matter would be transferred to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
The accused was also told that while the magistrate lacked the jurisdiction to grant bail, the accused could apply for it through the higher court.
Until he is granted bail, the accused will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Nesbitt’s VBI is set for service on May 3.
