A Cunupia private-hire driver accused of attempting to murder a woman in Rio Claro was granted $250,000 bail on August 29 after the court denied a prosecution request for more time to obtain criminal record.

Renny Ramkissoon, 38, appeared before Master Kimitria Gray, charged in connection to an incident on August 11, in Rio Claro, involving a 20-year-old woman who was doused with muraitic acid while at Naparima Mayaro Road, in the vicinity of Scotiabank.

Police prosecutor Sgt Cortez told Gray that the State had not yet received fingerprint records due to system problems and asked for an adjournment.
