Man charged for threatening wife who ‘threatened’ him

May 15, 2013 News

 
“My wife has been threatening to chop off my penis and she said she will put faeces in my food and give me to eat. Since she tell me that, I stop eating home and she has been violent and abusive. On the day in question, when she started quarrelling because I didn’t eat home, I just told her some things, but I didn’t threaten her.”
This was the testimony of Jerome Perreira who appeared yesterday before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer to two charges – using threatening language and disorderly behavior.
The particulars of the first charge read that on May 11, the defendant used threatening language against Shelly Miller, his common-law wife at their home in Riverview, Ruimveldt. He pleaded not guilty.
It was further alleged that on the said date, the defendant behaved in a disorderly manner at the Ruimveldt Police Station. To this charge the defendant pleaded guilty with explanation. Perriera told the court that his wife made the report against him and the police came to his home to escort him to the station. He said that he asked the police what he was being charged for and he alleged that the officers lashed him in the face with a book and began to beat him up. He claims that it was then that he behaved disorderly.
Though the facts of the prosecution were not read in open court, Shelly Miller revealed that she never made the aforementioned utterances to her husband.
“Your worship I feel like a prisoner when I am with this man. He does not allow me to have friends. When I walk the road I have to put my head straight. If I going to the market, he always saying is a man I going and meet. Since I am with him he has been threatening to murder me.”
The defendant was subsequently released on his own recognizance for the charge of disorderly behaviour but was made to post a bond of $60,000 for the threatening language matter and will make his next appearance before the court on May 30. In the meantime, both were put on a bond to keep the peace pending the outcome of the matter.
