Wife wounded for refusing to sleep with husband

Sep 13, 2012 News

An extremely desperate man, accused of severely wounding his spouse after she refused to have sexual intercourse with him, was ordered to spend the next 55 days on remand, when he faced Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine -Beharry yesterday, on a charge of unlawful wounding.
Leroy Cream, a chainsaw operator and resident of Port Kaituma, Region One, allegedly used a broken bottle to inflict several lacerations about the body of his reputed wife, Iona France. Cream pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The incident is said to have taken place on August 1, last, at Big Creek Backdam, Port Kaituma, where both the virtual complainant and the defendant share a common law relationship.
According to Police Prosecutor, Kerry Bostwick, the couple who have six children together, had a disagreement some time at night, after the defendant made sexual advances to his wife and she declined.
The man reportedly became annoyed and went to sleep but awoke later that night and made another attempt to get his wife to have intercourse with him.
However this time, when the woman refused, the man started to physically abuse his spouse, hitting her on various parts of her body.
Cream then broke a bottle and dealt France several cuts about the body resulting in her having to be hospitalised.
After hearing the facts of the case, the Magistrate remanded Cream to prison until November 6, when his case is scheduled to come up at the Matthew’s Ridge Magistrate’s Court.
