While information is still sketchy as to what instigated a conflict between an unnamed woman and Elvis Murray Watkins, the President of the Antigua and Barbuda Red Cross, he will be spending the next 10 days at Her Majesty\u2019s Prison.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Murray Watkins appeared in the St. John\u2019s Magistrates Court on Monday morning, March 28, and was remanded to prison by Acting Chief Magistrate Dexter Wason.<\/p>\n

He will remain at the penal facility until April 6, at which time Wason will review his matter and decide whether to grant bail.<\/p>

Allegations are that he and the female were in an altercation during which he used his fist on her.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The matter was reported to the Police and Murray Watkins was taken into custody and now faces serious charges.<\/p>\n
