Man beats up his blind uncle

Mar 26, 2013 News

 
Colis Harry, a 32-year-old resident of 1163 Pigeon Place, South Ruimveldt Park appeared before Magistrate Alan Wilson at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer to the charge of unlawful assault against his blind uncle, Dexter Harry.
According to the police, Prosecutor Bentham stated that on March 14, an argument ensued between the defendant and his uncle at South Ruimveldt Park and the defendant proceeded to assault the blind man, causing several lacerations to his arm and face.
The matter was reported, and the assailant was subsequently arrested and charged.
The Magistrate however noted that the uncle who was not pleased with a mere “bond to keep the peace application” put forward by Prosecutor Bentham did so because of his fear of his nephew. The uncle who is 41 years old, pleaded with the court for the defendant to be remanded. He said “Sir this man gave me nuff nuff licks. This is the justice I getting sir?”
The Magistrate took his sentiments into consideration and ordered an affixed condition to be attached to the application. The Magistrate made it clear to the defendant, that should there be a breach of the bond to keep the peace, he would be imprisoned for six weeks. The defendant was also granted $15,000 bail and ordered to make his next court appearance on May 6.
