A British national was on Monday arraigned at the Brikama Magistrates 
Court to face a charge of bigamy, contrary to Section 154 of the 
Criminal Code, Cap 10 Volume III, laws of The Gambia.

Steve Barley Baugttan, a resident at Gunjur Village in Kombo South, 
Western Region, is alleged to have unlawfully married one Mariama Manga, 
alias Sibi, a Gambian when he is legally married to his wife Lorraine 
Bailey-Vaughan. The unlawful marriage is said to have taken place in the 
months of May and June, last year.

Mr Baugttan, who appeared before Senior Magistrate EF M’Bai, has 
repeatedly denied the charge levelled against him.

The case was initially heard before Principal Magistrate BY Camara of 
the Banjul Magistrates Court, before it was transferred to Brikama for 
lack of jurisdiction to try the case.

Police prosecutor, Sub-Inspector Saine, represented the IGP in the 
criminal trial, which was later adjourned for continuation.
