A WOMAN was remanded into custody yesterday after being accused of an acid attack in December.

Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley arraigned Elsie Charles McKinney, 34, on charges of attempted murder and dangerous harm.

McKinney is accused of seriously injuring and attempting to kill Marthial Paul and Melissa Murphy by throwing acid on them on December 21, 2024, in New Providence.

McKinney was not required to enter a plea at this time. She was informed that her case would proceed to the Supreme Court via a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).

McKinney will remain in custody at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until her VBI is served on May 1.

Alphonso Lewis is representing the accused.
