Bermudian man to stand trial in December over alleged assaults in Coventry

A 31-year-old Bermudian living in the UK is due to face trial in December after denying charges of strangulation and assault.

Gavaska Bascome appeared by video link at Northampton Crown Court yesterday and pleaded not guilty to one count of strangulation and two counts of assault and battery. The case was adjourned to December 14 for trial, and Bascome was remanded in custody.

Court records show he had previously pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault by beating at Northampton Magistrates’ Court in June.

Prosecutors allege the offences took place on June 15 and June 16 at a property in Coventry, West Midlands, England.

It was back in June when TNN News Broke the story of a Bermudian man with a well-documented history of violent incidents in Bermuda was arrested in England less than 12 hours after arriving in the United Kingdom. Stay tuned to TNN for further updates on this developing story.
