Man remanded for raping reputed wife

Jul 04, 2012 News

A 36 –year-old man who was last week placed on $15,000 bail for stealing $20,000 from his reputed wife was yesterday remanded to jail after he was charged for raping the said woman prior to the alleged theft.
The West Ruimveldt resident appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
He was not required to plead to the offence of rape which he reportedly committed against his 23-year-old girlfriend.
The charge states that on June 21 at a named hotel in Georgetown, the man penetrated the woman. The particulars however stated that the man was charged also with sodomy committed against the same woman.
The matter was held in-camera and for the protection of the woman’s identity, names were withheld.
The facts were read by police prosecutor, Inspector Stephen Telford. In reading the information he stated that on the day in question, around 23:30 hours, the victim and her four-year-old son were in a hotel room when she heard knocking on the door.
The woman reportedly opened the door and saw that it was the accused.
The accused subsequently entered through the doorway and reportedly picked up a knife that was on a ledge.
He reportedly threatened the woman with the knife and ordered her to undress, but she refused.
This, according to the police information, prompted the man to slap the woman several times to the face. He then pushed her on the bed and pulled off her pants and then her underwear. He subsequently had sexual intercourse with the woman.
The facts continued that after the accused forcibly penetrated the woman from the front he ordered her to turn over, but again she refused.
The accused reportedly forced the woman to turn over and he penetrated the woman from behind resulting in the buggery charge.
The prosecution requested that the accused be remanded to jail and that was granted by the court.
Before Magistrate Allan Wilson on Friday, last, the accused was charged with simple larceny where he reportedly stole a sum of money from the said victim. The court had placed the man on bail.
Kaieteur News however understands that the theft of the money occurred after the alleged rape. The police however stated that when the accused was charged for simple larceny the rape charge was with the Director of Public Prosecutions awaiting advice.
The accused will return to court on July 16.
