A 21-year-old charged with aggravated assault in connection with the severe beating of a Moncton bartender will not be released on bail, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Abdallah Abu Zeid was charged Dec. 5 with the aggravated assault of Jacques Vautour on Nov. 8.
Vautour, 42, was found badly beaten Nov. 8 along Foundry Street about a block from Navigators Pub, where he had worked that night.
A bail hearing was held Dec. 14 and Dec. 18 before provincial court Judge Paul Duffie. The judge ruled Zeid will remain in custody pending trial.
