Chinese child assault case deferred

Jan 29, 2013 News

– Plaintiff’s representative absent

The case against the two Chinese nationals accused of assaulting an 11-year-old girl was yesterday postponed until February 8.  The adjournment came after the fact that the representative of the victim was absent.
The matter was called up before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Jiang Pen Ren, 42, and her husband, Jun Zhang, 32, the proprietors of Sino Mall located in the vicinity of Stabroek Market, opposite Demico House made their second appearance before the Magistrate.
After short court appearance the Magistrate also called on the prosecution to “ensure that the parent or guardian of the virtual complainant is summoned to attend court on the next occasion.”
On January 4, the couple allegedly beat an 11-year-old Muslim girl, after she was reportedly found roaming in their premises under “suspicious circumstances.”
The child told reporters that she was beaten and insulted by the Chinese couple due to a misunderstanding about her mode of dress.
She claimed that the owners of the store attacked her calling her a masked thief because she was wearing a Khimar.
However Jiang Pen Ren, stated that she physically abused the child, after the girl was found hiding in their home.
The couple is being represented by Attorney at law Satesh Kissoon. On the last occasion they were placed on $80,000 bail each after denying the charges.
