47 year old Luis Gordon is spending his first night behind bars after he was remanded to prison for the attempted murder of 39 year old Roberto Gilharry, his brother-in-law.
They had a dispute about parking space in their shared yard early on Friday morning. Gordon reportedly approached Gilharry with a shovel and struck him to the left side of his head from behind. Gilharry stumbled to the ground and Gordon continued hit him several more times. The shovel then broke and Gordon then reportedly used the stick to hit Gilharry who was, by this time, close to losing consciousness.
Gilharry's common law wife then came out and tried to pull him into their house since he had fallen right at the door.
Gordon then allegedly stepped toward both of them with a machete in each hand and swung it, injuring Gilharry's shoulder.
As a result, Police arrested Gordon, and he was charged with attempted murder and grievous harm. He was arraigned today in Magistrate Court, where he was remanded to prison until October 28, his next court date.
