Consultant neurosurgeon Dr Carl Bruce is set to learn his fate on September 21 in the assault case in which he is accused of beating fellow neurosurgeon Dr Roger Hunter and damaging his shirt and tie nearly 19 years ago.

Parish Judge Alwayne Smith today set the date after the trial concluded in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court, having earlier ruled that Bruce has a case to answer.

The judge is expected to deliver his ruling.
