Five NOC inmates charged with beating ‘bully’

Mar 28, 2013 News

Five male inmates of the juvenile facility at the New Opportunity Corps, who took turns in severely beating on another male occupant, were told by Magistrate Sunil Scarce that they would be sentenced if a probation report which was ordered proved unfavorable. They must now await that report which is due by April 19.
The five aged between 17 and 16 years old were ordered back at the facility at Onderneeming. They were jointly charged with unlawful wounding when they appeared at the Anna Regina Magistrate’s court for an in camera hearing. Guilty pleas were entered by the five inmates along with explanations.
The magistrate heard that the victim was referred to as a “bully”, who they claimed is known for taking advantage of the junior inmates.
One of the inmates explained that on the day in question he overheard the inmate that was beaten talking his name with a girl. Another explained that he observed the inmate taking advantage of a junior inmate and he thought it best to stand up for the child, since they had no one to represent them.
“He was beating one of my younger friends so I pelt him with a brick and then proceeded to stomp him with my feet.”
While the five males are maintaining that the victim was always in the habit of beating up on the junior males, a police report has stated that the five before the court are part of a “gang” that often would inflict beatings on their counterparts.
The report added on the day in question, they dealt the other senior inmate a sound thrashing with sticks. The inmate was subsequently taken for medical attention at the Suddie Public Hospital and has been re- integrated back at NOC.
The five senior inmates, police complained were also in the habit of escaping into the backlands aback of Adventure and were culpable of stealing residents produce.
In August 2012, a number of inmates escaped and later set fire to the tailor shop and the female dormitory.
