Man beats peacemaker

Jul 28, 2012 News

A man was yesterday placed on self bail after appearing at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer a charge of assault. The man, 43-year-old Paul Louis of Lot 43 East Ruimveldt, was placed on bail after facing Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry for reportedly giving another man a sound thrashing when he intervened as a peacemaker in a quarrel between Louis and his reputed wife.
It is alleged that Louis, on July 26, last, at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown unlawfully assaulted Winston Small. The defendant said he was innocent.
Prosecutor Simeon Payne said that the defendant and the victim reside in the same apartment. Payne said that on the day in question, the defendant was having an argument with his girlfriend. In the process, the man allegedly began to beat the woman about the body.
The prosecutor added that Small objected to the defendant reportedly beating his girlfriend and intervened in the matter to separate the persons and render assistance to the woman.
Because of the intervention, Louis reportedly turned his attention to Winston and he began to choke the man and beat him about his body.
The matter was later reported to the police station and Louis was arrested and charged for the offence.
The prosecution did not object to bail and the court placed Louis on self bail. He will return to court on September 27 for the continuation of the matter.
