A MAN was remanded to prison yesterday after being accused of attempted murder in New Providence while armed with a rifle.
Elton Toussaint, 20, was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley on charges of the attempted murder of Davonne Brown and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Prosecutors allege that on June 28, Toussaint, along with accomplices, tried to kill Brown, who was taken to hospital and successfully treated for his injuries.
Toussaint was not required to enter a plea. He was informed that his case will proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI) and that he has the right to apply for bail in the higher court.
He will be held at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until his VBI is expected to be served on October 30.
Inspector Deon Barr prosecuted the matter.
