Probation report ordered for man who wounded neighbour

Sep 26, 2012 News

Chief Magistrate (Ag) Priya Sewnarine-Beharry has ordered a probation report on a man – pending his sentence – who admitted to brutally wounding his neighbour. Kester Thomas yesterday pleaded guilty to unlawfully wounding Dwayne Cain.
Reports are that on Thursday September 20, Thomas armed himself with a cutlass and inflicted lacerations about several parts of Cain’s body. Thomas also attempted to set Cain’s residence on fire.
In his explanation to court, Thomas said that Cain beat him with a piece of wood after they had a disagreement, hence he retaliated.
“He beat me first and we had a chop out… He see blood and he run”
The man said that after he was beaten by Cain, he went away and returned some time later with bottles of combustible fluid and matches which he lit and threw into Cain’s home in attempt to burn it.
However, this time when the complainant attempted to stop him, Thomas ran to his bicycle, pulled out a cutlass and dealt him several chops.   According to Thomas, the weapon belonged to a neighbour. Cain sustained injuries to his head, neck, eyes and other parts of his body, and as a result received 32 stitches. The incident is said to have stemmed from a quarrel over a lighter.
Thomas further claimed that he was “too angered” by the complainant and thus acted in the manner which he did.
The Magistrate ordered that Thomas remain behind bars until September 28 for a probation report to be done, after which he will be sentenced.
