Nursing Assistant Tianna Serena Lewis-King, who was remanded to prison for the offence of inciting acts of terrorism, has been granted $350,000 bail.

Lewis-King, 23, of Better Hope, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was arrested earlier this month following the release of a voice recording in which she purportedly claimed to be present during the autopsy of 11-year-old Adriana Younge.

However, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) contended that the recording was intended to create public mischief and obstruct the course of justice since video recordings showed that she was nowhere near the area when the autopsy was done.

A wanted bulletin was subsequently issued for her. The nursing assistant turned herself in for questioning and later appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty, where the charge was read to her.

She was not required to plead. The prosecutor objected to bail, and the accused was remanded to prison during her first court appearance.

When the matter was called on Friday, her lawyer made a request for bail, and the Magistrate granted it.
