TWO men were remanded to prison yesterday after being accused of attempting to kill two others in a drive-by shooting near Flamingo Avenue last week.

Police alleged that Ampherney Riley, 20, and Kenmario Lewis shot and injured Marvin Hawthorne and Shamar McLeish as they were driving around 5.15pm on September 14.

The suspects were reportedly in a burgundy Japanese vehicle.

Mr Hawthorne was last listed in serious condition in the hospital with gunshot wounds to the abdomen.

Riley and Lewis were charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life before Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley.

They were not required to enter a plea. The case will proceed to the Supreme Court via a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). They must apply for bail in the higher court.

The men were remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until their VBI is served on December 4.

Inspector Deon Barr prosecuted the case, while Bjorn Ferguson and K Melvin Munroe represented the accused.
