Seven individuals, comprising five teenagers and two men in their 20s, have been remanded to Dodds Prison for 28 days after Magistrate Alison Burke denied their bail application on Monday. The decision followed strong objections from the prosecution, led by Court Prosecutor Station Sergeant St Clair Phillips, who highlighted the severity of the charges and the potential risks of releasing the accused. The defendants include Dakai Ladavid Rasheed Cadogan, 17, Jamalee Dedarkus Jadan Joseph, 16, Corey David Allain, 18, Xavier Zaire Leon Stoute, 19, Dario Kareem Cherubin Lorde, 26, and Donnico Romario Herbert, 22. All are residents of St Michael, Barbados. They appeared in the District ‘A’ Traffic Court, facing charges of causing serious bodily harm to I-Rone Harris with intent to maim, disfigure, or disable him on October 30. Additionally, they are accused of using unlawful violence in a manner that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety. Another case involves Asron Carlisle Junior King, 17, who is jointly charged with Stoute, Cadogan, and Joseph for unlawfully wounding Steven Cadogan with intent on October 3. Phillips emphasized the gravity of the crimes, noting that Harris remains hospitalized, has lost vision in his left eye, and has undergone multiple surgeries. A firearm was allegedly used in the assault, and two other suspects remain at large. Phillips also cited concerns that the accused could interfere with the investigation if released. In the wounding case, a knife was allegedly used. Magistrate Burke, agreeing with the prosecution’s arguments, remanded the defendants to prison until December 15, stating that the court cannot condone such behavior. All accused, who were unrepresented, denied involvement in the offenses during their bail application.
