Patterson' was remanded until April 8 after a psychiatrist, in a report, suggested that he be further accessed.

"Your Honour yuh shouldn't do me dat. I am the Executioner Sterling weh PJ come visit up at Adelphi, last year, and give mi two ring, and mi did even come inna di paper too, yuh know, you Honour," he said.

Sterling, in custody since December 4 last year, allegedly destroyed several glass windows at the post office.

It is alleged that he went to the post office and demanded money, which he said, was there for him. However, when he did not get a positive response, he used a machete that he had in his possession to smash the glass partitions, driving fear into the workers and other persons present.

The police were summoned and he was arrested.
