A man who is accused of beating his girlfriend with his cellular phone had his bail extended in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

He is 31-year-old George Panton of a Kingston 16 address, who has been charged with unlawful wounding. Panton is to return to court on February 9 when the matter will be mentioned, as the file is incomplete.
