On Thursday, Christopher Meade, 29, was brought before the same magistrate to answer to the same charges and was refused bail.

Other charges read to Grenville were that he was in possession of ammunition to endanger life and possession of a firearm.

Another charge read to him alleged that he broke into a house of a man and robbed him of $2,000, an iPhone and US$1,000. He was not called upon to plead to the charges. Attorney Indira Binda held for Subhas Panday.

The exhibits were also produced before the court. Court prosecutor Cleyon Sedan said the accused man had no previous convictions.

Sedan did not object to bail. The magistrate in granting bail ordered that Grenville hand over his passport and report to the Ste Madeleine Police Station to sign bail.
