A Land of Canaan businessman has been remanded to prison after being charged with two counts of attempted murder. Thirty-five year-old Rodney Raghubansee made his appearance before Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty at the Providence Magistrate’s Court.It is alleged that on Saturday April 20, he maliciously wounded Courtney Persaud called ‘Chuck Kai’ with intent to commit murder. It is also alleged that on the same day he maliciously wounded Ralph Paul called ‘Backoo’ with intent to murder him. Both charges were indictable and the accused who hails from Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara,NFL Jerseys From China, was not required to enter a plea.Meanwhile the prosecution’s facts are that on the day in question Eton Tularam Lobin had a function at his home which is located at Lot X Block 5, Land of Canaan. At some point during the function which was attended by many, the accused, who is a licenced firearm holder, and his worker Khemraj Singh, turned up at the function.The court was told that the men went to the location to make inquires about a suspected theft at Raghubansee’s sawmill. The accused and the host of the function were in a conversation which eventually led to an argument, resulting in the accused discharging two rounds from his firearm hitting the two virtual complainants.Rahgubansee was represented by Charles Ramson Jr. in association with Leslie Sobers. In making a bail application, the court was told that their client acted in self-defence after he was attacked by men with broken bottles, and was fearful for his life.However Police Prosecutor Shellon Daniels objected to bail while noting that no special reason was given to the court. Daniels said she was also informed that both men were still hospitalised and she was not in a position to comment on their condition.The Magistrate then ruled in favour of the prosecution and bail was refused.Raghubansee will make his next court appearance on Friday, April 26.
