One of two inmates who reportedly disarmed a prison warden of his baton and used it to beat him at the Horizon Adult Remand Centre was remanded for trial on August 27.
Rohan Masters, a 33-year-old electrician of Luke Lane in Kingston, and his co-accused, Rushane Hamilton, 23, chef of Portmore in St Catherine, reportedly got upset after the warden had seized some ganja that was being passed around in the facility.
It is alleged that Masters used the baton to beat the warden all over his body while Hamilton held down the warden. Both will be tried on a charge of assault occasioning bodily harm.
On Tuesday when the matter was mentioned Masters’ attorney, Peter Champaignie, indicated that he wanted to make a bail application, but was instructed to make the application on the next hearing, which is on August 27.
Masters was subsequently remanded by Magistrate Wolf-Reece while Hamilton’s bail was extended.
Why would the attorney request a bail application for someone already in prison?
Warder is in good condition because they only beat him, usually the outcome is worst. Retraining first and foremost fi him and a transfer.
