Clint Alexis, the man charged with the attack on British couple Peter and Murium Greene, finally secured bail yesterday when he reappeared before Senior Magistrate Annette McKenzie in the Tobago Magistrates’ Court.

Magistrate McKenzie, through Alexis’s attorney, Larry Williams, granted him $200,000 bail and also ordered that he surrender his passport.

When Prosecutor William Davis was asked to produce the State’s list of witnesses, a list of police officers’ names was read out before the court. However, with insistence by the defence, it was revealed that a list of civilian witnesses could not be presented because of security issues.

An upset Magistrate McKenzie then ordered the prosecution to present the court with legal authorities and arguments that support them not giving the names of witnesses to the defence at the next sitting of the case. The prosecution did not object to bail and the matter was adjourned to next Monday.

A smiling Alexis, 25, later left the Scarborough Prison joined by his mother, Janet, father, Christopher, aunt, Jenny Henry, and other relatives.

Alexis is on two attempted murder charges for the chopping of the British nationals at their Bacolet home on August 1. The couple has since returned to their homeland.

Since Alexis’s first appearance before the court, villagers of Argyle have protested in their village and at the court calling for his release, saying the police had the wrong man.
