Wife beater placed on one year bond
Seeran Gurdat ,21, of Reliance East Canje Berbice was on Friday given a stern warning and placed on a one-year bond by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court before whom he appeared on a charge of assault.
The cane cutter was accused of beating his wife, Anisha Inshanally, with a cutlass at their home on Monday 10th December following a misunderstanding over the couple’s baby.
Prosecutor Sergeant Godfrey Playter presenting the state’s case told the court that on the day in question the couple was at home. The woman was making something for the baby who was crying.
The accused called out to her to hurry up. The woman in turn told him to take care of the baby until she was finished. Gurdat got annoyed and dealt the woman several ‘broadsides’ about her body, while using indecent language.
The matter was reported to the Reliance Police Station and the accused was arrested and charged. Gurdat apologized to the court and asked for pardon and promised to be of good behaviour.
The Magistrate took him up on his promise and placed him on one year bond, failing which he will be jailed for 14 days.
