A 66-year-old man accused of assaulting his son with acid was granted bail yesterday.

Prosecutors allege that Edward Rolle Sr attacked his son, Edward Rolle Jr, with a baseball bat and acid during a fight at their home on Misty Cloud Close on October 8.

Rolle Sr pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault with a dangerous instrument before Magistrate Abigail Farrington.

Assistant Superintendent of Police K Bould, who prosecuted the case, raised no objection to bail.

Rolle Sr was granted $5,000 bail with one or two sureties. He must sign in at his local police station on the last Sunday of every month and was warned not to interfere with his son or any witnesses.

He is expected to return to court for trial on March 3, 2026.
