Man who allegedly threatened to kill Guyana's President denied bail

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Apr 10, CMC – The 64-year-old man who last month threatened to kill Guyana President David Granger was denied bail and remanded to re-appear in court on April 16.

Motielall Balkarran, an East Coast Demerara resident, appeared in court Monday after the police said on March 20 he called the Emergency Service 911 and threatened to kill President Granger by detonating a bomb at the President’s office.

The police also allege that he also used expletives at the 911 operator.

Defence attorney Tiffany Jeffrey told the court that her client was charged wrongfully because he was never subjected to a voice recognition and verification.

She also argued that several other people live in the same house as Balkarran.
