A 32-year-old local man accused of stabbing a man last year has been found guilty of wounding with intent following a trial at the Supreme Court earlier today.
Jensen Duarte, of Edinburgh House, has been remanded in custody until November 30th pending a pre-sentencing report.
The defendant was arrested by the RGP in November last year following a violent brawl in the Waterport area with another man who required hospitalisation.
The jury deliberated for ninety minutes before returning a guilty verdict.
Ricky Rhoda QC and Kerrin Drago appeared for the Crown while Chris Finch and Justin Rodriguez appeared for the defence.
Puisne Judge Karen Ramagge-Prescott presided over the trial.
