Man 62, jailed for beating age old mother

Jan 12, 2013 News

 

A 62-year-old pensioner who was described as a court regular was on Friday jailed again for inflicting a beating on his 78-year-old sickly mother.
The man Balram Pooran, 62, of 702 Belvedere, Corentyne, Berbice appeared before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo yesterday at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court charged with assaulting his mother, 78-year-old Regina Kellowan. He reportedly beat the woman on Wednesday at her home in Belvedere, Corentyne, Berbice.
According to prosecutor Corporal Orin Joseph, the accused was at home with his mother when he continually asked for food. He was fed twice and demanded more. The woman refused his request since she was busy preparing some things to send to relatives overseas.
The man became annoyed and went over to his mother and dealt her several slaps about her face and other parts of her body.
The matter was reported and the accused was arrested and charged.
In court he pleaded guilty and begged for a chance.  The prosecutor told the court that the man is known to the authorities and is considered a nuisance. He told the court that the man was jailed before for 10 days on a similar charge.
The Magistrate then sentenced Pooran to 14 days in jail.
