Nassau, BAHAMAS-A man accused of threatening a shooting victim has been denied bail.
Prosecutors say Nesley Tilme threatened to kill Shaniqua Moxey on April 29 in order to prevent her from testifying against her alleged shooter.
Tilme, 27, faced charges of witness intimidation and threats of death when he appeared before Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis on May 4.
Tilme initially pleaded guilty but he withdrew his plea on the advice of his lawyer Ian Cargill.
Because the magistrate lacks jurisdiction to consider bail for the offenses, he remanded Tilme into custody.
However, Tilme can apply for bail in the Supreme Court.
Tilme next returns to court on June 30 for trial.
Moxey was shot in the stomach while walking on Andros Avenue on November 21, 2019.
Police have charged Andre Wallace with attempted murder in the incident.
He, too, is on remand.
