posted (October 24, 2012)
Tonight, 66 year-old Cyril Banner is at prison after he was taken to court for attempting to murder his nephew.

The allegation is that on Saturday, Banner's nephew came to his home and hit him in the stomach, and as a result, he pulled a machete hit the nephew with it, inflicting injuries.

As a result, police arrested and charged Banner with attempted murder, grievous harm, and use of deadly means of harm.

Banner was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith this afternoon, and due to the nature of the offences, no plea was taken, and he was remanded to prison until November 27.

Banner is being represented by attorney Arthur Saldivar.
