Charged with attempting to choke

Salazar appeared before Senior Magistrate Gloria Jasmath in the First Court, who read the charge to him that on Sunday last, at St John’s Trace, Marabella, he did attempt to suffocate Candace Wilson in an attempt to render her incapable of resistance with intent to commit an arrestable offence.

Court prosecutor PC Cleyon Seedan, told the magistrate that the charge was laid indictably and that Salazar had a record which the prosecution still needed to check in order to determine if there were previous convictions against his name.

The magistrate read a second charge to Salazar that on that same day, he had in his possession a knife for the purpose of committing an arrestable offence.

Magistrate Jasmath remanded him into custory to reappear on January 12.
