Court hears…Promise to repair burnt down house saves victim’s life

May 15, 2013 News

The mother of a mentally ill man is expected to tender documents in court today to support claims that her son is mentally unfit.
On Monday last, Bahadur Boodram was charged with assaulting Vishal Mohamed and also using threatening behaviour towards the complainant. When the matter was first called on Monday Boodram pleaded not guilty. The well-spoken accused told the court, “it is not a threat it is just a complicated story”. Boodram was remanded to prison. The matter was called before Magistrate Leron Daly.
Court Prosecutor Shellon Daniels said that on Friday May 10th at Providence, East Bank Demerara, Mohamed was walking along the Public Road when Boodram grabbed him, pushed him into a nearby trench, and held his head under the water. The court was told that while Boodram held onto Mohamed, he was accusing him of burning down his (Boodram’s) house.
Mohamed told the court that Boodram only released him after police and other public spirited citizens ran to his assistance and after he told Boodram that he would rebuild his house.
However during another court appearance yesterday, Boodram’s mother indicated to the court that her son is mentally ill and has been on psychiatric treatment for a number of years.
After this was told to the court the virtual complainant in the matter was asked if he still wanted to proceed with the matter and he replied in the positive. The matter will be called again later today when Boodram’s mother is expected to tender documents to support claims that her son is mentally ill.
