Julius Branker, 29, of Blue Berry Hill Squatting Area was not
required to plead to a charge of burglary.
It is alleged that on the night of May 29 at Canvas City,
Wismar, Linden he broke and entered the dwelling house of a
woman with intent to commit rape. In a press statement, police
said that around 4 am on the day in question a man broke into
the home of a woman at Canvas City, Wismar and stabbed the woman
on both legs.
The 22-year-old woman was in her home sleeping when she felt
liquid being spilled
on her legs, (where
on her legs?) the police said. She woke up and saw
the suspect, a scuffle ensued and the man stabbed her on both
legs. The woman raised an alarm and the suspect fled the home.
Police responded to the report and around 6.10 am arrested the
suspect at Blue Berry Hill Squatting Area.
Attorney at law Adrian Thompson represented Branker and told
the court that his client is a father of two who works at the
Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) in Linden. The attorney said
that his client was brutalized by the police and had numerous
marks of violence about his body.
The magistrate remanded Branker and transferred his case to
the Christianburg Magistrate's court for June 26.
