Thirty-nine year-old Dayno Mangru, a cane cutter of Port Mourant, Corentyne, Berbice, was yesterday sentenced to one month in jail by magistrate Fabayo Azore after he appeared before her at the Whim Magistrate’s Court and was found guilty on a charge of assaulting his wife Radica Persaud.
Prosecutor Sergeant Godfrey Playter presenting the state’s case told the court that on Thursday, July 26, last, the accused went home during the night in a drunken state. He called upon his wife to open the door. When he entered the house he began to use indecent language. An argument ensued and the accused dealt the woman a series of blows about her body. The matter was reported at the Whim Police station and the accused was arrested and charged. He pleaded not guilty.
Radica Persaud told the court that her husband is always in the habit of beating her up, especially when he is under the influence of alcohol, and on the day in question he indulged in the customary habit.
The accused begged the magistrate for a chance. He said that he was sorry for what had happened and asked that he be placed on a six months bond.
The magistrate noting the prevalence and seriousness of the offence sentenced him to one month in jail.
