The court heard that Baleinabodua was a former St Giles patient and he will be remanded for further examination.

Meanwhile, his father, Seru applied for bail saying that he should be released because it was his son who allegedly committed the offence however Justice Temo told Seru his bail application will be heard on the 10th of next month.
