Principle Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus on Monday granted a former murder accused bail after he denied a charge of resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.
Thirty-two-year-old Edward Skeete called “Pretty Boy”, of Independence Boulevard, Georgetown, denied that on February 10 at Cornhill Street, Georgetown, he unlawfully assaulted a Police Constable, who was at the time acting in the execution of his duties.
He further denied that on the said date and location, he prevented lawful apprehension by the peace officer, who was at the time acting in the execution of his duties.
Defence Attorney George Thomas in a bail application told the court that his client is the sole breadwinner for his family. Police Prosecutor Quinn Harris did not object to bail and Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus released Skeete on G$20,000 bail. The case will continue on March 4, 2020.
Back in 2018, Skeete along with his former co-accused, Nabadingi Gobin, were both acquitted of the July 2015 murder of Ryan Clementson, who died between July 24 and 25, 2015, two weeks after being shot to his thigh.
