A MAN accused of carrying out a double shooting that left two men injured outside a nightclub on Market Street last week was remanded to prison yesterday.

Prosecutors allege that Charlton Williamson, 33, shot and injured Franklyn Dean and Ramon Selva as they stood outside Sweet Scent club on Market and Rosedale Streets shortly after 2am on August 5.

The victims, aged 31 and 29, reportedly suffered gunshot wounds to their lower extremities, with one man being shot in the leg. Both were treated in hospital and later discharged.

Williamson was not required to enter a plea to two counts of attempted murder and two counts of firearm possession during his arraignment before Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley.

Instead, he was told his case will proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). He was advised of his right to seek bail in the higher court.

He will be held at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the VBI is expected to be served on November 6.

Ian Cargill represented the accused, while Inspector Deon Barr prosecuted the matter.
