Mar 13, 2015 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

City Magistrate Annette Singh jailed and fined a repeat offender after he made his second appearance before her, charged with beating and threatening his reputed wife.
Mark Singh, 41 of Lot 150 Regent Street, Bourda, Georgetown, pleaded guilty to the charge which stated that on March 11, at the same address, he unlawfully assaulted Sujata Persaud. Singh further admitted to the court that on the said day at the same location he made use of threatening language to his wife whereby a breach of the peace may be occasioned.
Police prosecutor Adduni Inniss’s facts stated that the defendant and the victim have three children together. She related that the defendant was released from prison three months ago after he was given a six months sentence for assaulting the same woman.
Inniss informed the court that on the day in question the defendant went to the home of the victim, where he picked up a boot and dealt her several lashes about the body. He also threatened to kill the woman.
Singh explained to the court that “Is only last week I come outta jail, she have three children fuh me. Is only wen I tek a lil drink I does behave bad. Meh son gotto write common entrance yuh worship, I won’t do it again.”
His wife explained to the court that she no longer wants “anything to do” with Singh because he beats her in front of their fifteen year old son.
He was given a two months jail term on the unlawful assault charge; on the threatening language charge Singh was fined $10,000 or an alternative of one month imprisonment.
He has one week to pay the fine.
