Once again former beauty queen Carolan Lynch has failed to make a court appearance, before Magistrate Priya Beharry, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Police Prosecutor Lionel Harvey yesterday begged the court’s indulgence for the matter to be adjourned until today.
Lynch’s attorney Nigel Hughes was not present either when the matter was called.
