Onecia Warrick, 24, and Maryann Allicock, a 32-year-old food vendor, both of the Stevedore Housing Scheme, Georgetown, were charged on Monday with attempted murder.

They are accused of attempting to murder Randell Dowding, a 36-year-old food vendor from North Ruimveldt, Georgetown, earlier in September. They were arrested on September 19.

Both appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Magistrate Faith McGusty, where they pleaded not guilty. They were each placed on $150,000 bail. The matter was adjourned to October 16.

He appeared before Magistrate Fabayo Azore, where he pleaded not guilty and was placed on a total of $85,000 bail for the two offenses. His matter will come up again on October 14.
