Sixty year old Franz Hamilton, was today charged with a rarely used offence: the attempted suppression of evidence - because he allegedly tried to intimidate a witness.
When he appeared today before the Chief Magistrate, Sharon Fraser, Hamilton pled not guilty to the charge.
The allegation is that on Good Friday, Hamilton, who was on bail for a charge of sexual assault on an 8 year old girl, told the child's mother the he does not know if she will live long enough to testify.
Hamilton was denied bail because he has violated one of the conditions of the bail that was granted to him by the Supreme Court. That condition was he was not to have any contact with the virtual complainant. Hamilton was remanded into custody until May 22.
