A local man has tonight been charged with Attempted Murder and Aggravated Burglary after an incident in the South District last night.

Karl Henry DANINO, 39, of Saint Joseph’s Estate, will appear in the Magistrates’ Court tomorrow morning (18 March).

Bail has been refused and he will remain in New Mole House overnight until his court appearance.

Response Team officers were called to a residence in St Joseph’s Estate at around 9pm last night (16 March), following a report that a man had broken into a residence and stabbed one of the occupants, causing an injury to their leg.

On police arrival, officers found DANINO within the residence along with several implements, including a metal pick and screwdrivers. 

He was arrested and taken to New Mole House Police Station.

Detectives from the Crime and Protective Services Division continued with the investigation before charging DANINO for the above offences just before 8pm tonight.
