Triangular love affair lands in court

Jul 03, 2009 News

Two women were yesterday placed on a two-year bond to keep the peace after they appeared before Magistrate Melissa Ogle to answer charges of assault, causing actually bodily harm.
Taking the stand, yesterday, were Parmattie and Mahadai Ramdeo, both of Turkeyen, Sophia, and Shaleeza Matthews of 46 Patentia Housing Scheme, West Bank Demerara. The three women all answered charges of assaulting the other on June 18 at the Kamboat Restaurant on Sheriff Street, Georgetown.
Parbattie explained to the court that Matthews was having a relationship with her sister’s (Mahadai) child-father and she was accompanying her to speak to Matthews. This man now resides with Matthews. She said the child-father moved in with the other woman some three months ago and the woman has since been tormenting her sister via the telephone.

She said when her sister confronted Matthews at the restaurant where she works as a cashier a heated argument ensued. It soon evolved into a squabble between the two.
Mahadai told the magistrate that she had visited the restaurant to make peace, claiming that she only wanted to beg Matthews to stop abusing her on the telephone when she attempted to speak to her child-father, who incidentally works as a deliveryman at the same restaurant. She said she greeted Matthews ‘nicely’ but the woman refused to answer her even though she made two attempts at evoking a verbal response. She said Matthews instead launched a verbal tirade and pointed her finger in her face quite often. Mahadai said the woman’s finger touched her left cheekbone and soon things ended up in a full-scale brawl.

During her representation, Matthews told the court that on the day in question she was changing her blouse in front of a mirror when Mahadai attacked her from behind. She said the woman pulled her hair and began to rain blows on her person. According to Matthews as she attempted to defend herself, Mahadai’s sister held onto her arms, preventing her from avoiding the blows of the other woman.
The child-father was summoned before the magistrate who warned him not to take Mathews with him in his car when picking up his sixteen year-old daughter, since her presence in the car only seemed to infuriate the other woman he had deserted.
In the end, the magistrate placed the two on a two-year bond and warned the child-father to do everything in his power to ensure that peace is maintained between the two women.
