After two months away, deejay Bounty Killer, real name Rodney Price, is to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court tomorrow, to find out whether the assault case against him will be dropped or will proceed to trial. 

The deejay, who was charged after being accused of beating up his girlfriend after she decided to end their relationship, was ordered to go through mediation after the complainant indicated to the court, on the last occasion, that this was the route she wanted to take. 
It is alleged that on the night in question the accused dragged the complainant into his vehicle after seeing her at a nightclub, took her to his house and questioned her about the termination of their relationship. The allegations further indicated that he slapped her across the face several times causing her to fall in his bed. 
While in his bed, it is alleged that the accused used his knees to pin her down in the bed and slapped her across the face again, then sat in her stomach. Price was arrested and charged on April 5. 
Price had pleaded guilty to the charge but the complainant, who had indicated that she wanted to work things out with the deejay, told Resident Magistrate Georgianna Fraser on the last court date that she wanted mediation. 
Even though the RM did not agree, the request was granted for the case to return tomorrow. At that time, the RM will decide if the matter will be dismissed, based on mediation. The deejay spent almost one week in jail before being granted bail.
