By PAVEL BAILEYTribune Staff Reporterpbailey@tribunemedia.netA MAN awaiting murder trial was denied bail on Friday after he allegedly breached his curfew and tampered with his monitoring device twice this year.
On both occasions, Johnson allegedly deliberately wrapped tinfoil around his monitoring device to interfere with its ability to track his movements.
Johnson was on release pending charges of murder, attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Sergeant 2257 Wilkinson, the prosecutor, objected to bail, citing the serious nature of Johnson’s pending charges and the risk to public safety.
Johnson was denied bail and remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
