Twenty-year-old Giavanni McFarlane, who is charged in connection with the March 1, 2026 stabbing and robbery of a businessman in McCooks Pen, St Catherine, was today granted $800,000 bail with surety in the St Catherine Parish Court.

McFarlane is charged with robbery with aggravation and wounding.

Attorney-at-law Donahue Martin successfully applied for bail, telling the court that his client was remorseful, had spent a lengthy period in custody, was not a flight risk, and had a fixed address.
