Man on assault charge gets bail extension

A man accused of assaulting another had his bail extended when he appeared before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court last Thursday.

Charged with assault occasioning bodily harm is Kevore Donaldson, who pleaded not guilty to the offence.

The Crown alleged that on the day of the incident, the complainant and the accused man got into an altercation which became physical when Donaldson allegedly used a piece of iron to hit the complainant all over his body, causing pain.

However, the complainant was not present in court.

Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey ordered Donaldson to return to court on April 19 for a mention hearing, pending an outstanding medical report. His bail was extended.
