–   Woman refuses to give evidence

Javon Glasgow and his reputed wife Donnette Cummings were yesterday bonded by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry to keep the peace.
Appearing at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court was Javon Glasgow of lot 7 Broad Street, Charlestown, faced with two charges; use of threatening language and unlawful assault.
It is alleged that on October 3, at Broad Street, Charlestown, the defendant unlawfully and maliciously assaulted Donnette Cummings.
It is further alleged that on the said date, at the aforementioned place, Glasgow used threatening language to Cummings whereby a breach of the peace may be occasioned.
To both allegations, the defendant pleaded not guilty.
According to the reports given by Prosecutor Bharat Mangru in open court, the couple lives together and on the day in question, Cummings returned home from visiting her father and encountered the defendant who spewed a series of jealous accusations at her.
The court heard that an argument ensued between the two and Glasgow, who insisted that his reputed wife had visited another man, dealt the woman several cuffs about her body. Mangru further stated that in the process of trashing the woman, the man threatened to kill her.
“The man is jealous of his wife which means he loves her. If a man isn’t jealous, he doesn’t love his woman” were the words which led Attorney at Law Paul Fung-a-Fat’s defense.
Fung-a-Fat informed the court that his 34-year-old client is a father of two who has one prior offence with the mother of another of his children.
Cummings refused to offer evidence against her husband and also declined the Magistrate’s offer to have a Protection Order taken out against the man.
Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry bonded the couple to keep the peace and ordered the couple to undergo counseling at the Help and Shelter.  Glasgow was ordered to reside with his sister and is expected to return to court on November 6.
