A St Catherine man who was attacked earlier this month over a land dispute and beaten with a hammer while he slept remains unresponsive in hospital despite multiple surgical procedures. The update was provided by a clerk of court when his alleged attacker Romaine Campbell, 36, appeared in the St Catherine Court on Friday. Campbell is facing a charge of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm. But citing the medical update, the clerk of court indicated that the charge could be upgraded given the condition of the complainant.
