Guyanese fined TT$5,000 fine for stabbing man at bar

Jul 19, 2015 News

Trinidad (Trinidad Express) – A Guyanese national who stabbed a man du­ring a bar brawl was ordered by the court to immediately pay a TT$5,000 fine.
Michael George entered the guilty plea to the charge of malicious wounding when he appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Mark Wellington earlier this week.
At 11.55 p.m. on June 6, the victim was at a bar along Bonne Aventure Road, Gasparillo, when there was a fight between a group of men.
The victim tried to pull away one of his friends from the fight when the defendant approached him and dealt him several stab wounds to the upper chest and stomach area, police prosecutor Cleyon Seedan said.
A report was made to the Gasparillo Police Station and the victim was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital where he was treated and listed as a patient in stable condition.
Following investigations, George was met at School Trace, Gasparillo, and informed of the report. He told police he and another man were fighting, and he stabbed the man “three times to defend myself”. He was arrested. Before the court, Wel­lington told him from the information read, there were no threats made against him. He also reminded George the victim had been stabbed in the chest.
George had no previous convictions. The Magistrate fined him TT$5,000. In default of paying the money forthwith, George was ordered to serve 12 months in prison.
Wellington, who told the Guyanese national there was a detention order against him, advised that he have someone pay the money on his behalf.
