Love triangle lands before court for 704 brawl

Jul 06, 2014 News

A 52-year-old man, his wife, and his “friend” were on Friday brought before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer to charges which stemmed from an altercation at a recently opened ‘chill spot.’
One week after the Friday night hang turned sour, the man, Alfred Hinds, his wife Susan, 32, both of Republic Park, Georgetown and Hinds’s friend, Sue-Ann Cassou, 22, appeared before Magistrate Fabayo Azore to face charges.
Susan Hinds was indicted for assaulting her husband and his friend on June 27 at 704 Sports Bar’s Parking Lot on Lamaha Street. She pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Alfred Hinds, a real estate agent, was charged for assaulting his wife and he too pleaded not guilty.
And, the friend, Cassou, was charged for using threatening language towards the man’s wife whilst they were at the Alberttown Police Station to report the matter.
Police Prosecutor, Corporal Bharat Mangru explained that the man and Cassou were at 704 when his wife saw them and decided to confront them.
He said that it was in the parking lot that Cassou and the man’s wife had an argument when Hinds choked his wife and pulled her to the ground.
Mangru explained that it was at the police station where the trio sought to report the matter that Cassou used threatening language towards the man’s wife.
The husband who was unrepresented by legal counsel told the court that he had previously sought a restraining order against his wife.  His claim was, however, refuted by his wife’s lawyer, Keisha Chase.
The attorney explained that her client’s husband had obtained the order while she was out of the country and it had only been served on June 28 but the incident had occurred the day before.
She asked the court to offer her client bail. Cassou who resides at Enmore, East Coast Demerara, also asked the court to consider bail.
The Magistrate offered Susan Hinds bail in the sum of $20,000 ($10,000 on each charge), her husband $10,000, and his friend $5000.
Their matter was subsequently transferred to Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond for hearing on July 9 for the commencement of trial.
