Wife beater heads to jail again

Oct 28, 2010 News

– “Please give me another chance I love she”

Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo yesterday sentenced Outar Shivpersaud, 44, to six months in jail for beating his wife, Lalita Bedessie, to which he pleaded guilty.
The accused resides at lot 56 West Canje, Berbice with the virtual complaint and their children.
The allegation was that on October 24, last, Bedessie was walking along Workshop Street, East Canje, with her ten-year-old daughter when her husband approached and demanded that she get on his bicycle. As a result of him being intoxicated she declined. Outar Shivpersaud became angry and took off the bar from his bicycle and dealt his wife several lashes to her head and body. She fell to the ground and was subsequently rescued by eyewitnesses who took her to the New Amsterdam Hospital where she was treated and sent away.
Police prosecutor, Roberto Figuera, told the magistrate that the accused is in constant habit of beating his wife. He lamented that it was just last week the man was placed on a one year bound for committing an offence of a similar nature.
During the trial, yesterday, at the Reliance Magistrate Court, he was unrepresented and begged the Magistrate for another chance.
He blurted out that he is in love with his wife.
His pleas fell on deaf ears and he was ordered to spend the next six months in the New Amsterdam jail.
