– remanded for assaulting aunt

A well-known male domestic worker was yesterday ordered to pay $20,000 for being attired in female clothing. He was given an alternative to serve three weeks imprisonment, if unable to pay the fine.
Nicholas Kissoon, 18, of Herstelling New Scheme, East Bank Demerara (EBD) pleaded guilty to the charge after it was read to him by Magistrate Leron Daly, in the Providence Magistrate’s Court.
Kissoon admitted that on October 14, last, at Herstelling, New Scheme, EBD being a man, for an improper reason, he wore female clothes in a public place. In addition, Kissoon, who told the court that he was a domestic worker, was also slapped with several assault charges. One of the allegations alleged that on October 14, at Herstelling, EBD, he unlawfully assaulted his aunt, Savika Kissoon.
He pleaded not guilty to this charge and was remanded to prison.
Police Inspector, Michael Grant presented the prosecution’s case.
At yesterday’s court proceedings Kissoon was clad in a burgundy jeggings and questions arose whether he could have entered the Camp Street prison in his attire. He had no legal representation and told the Magistrate he could not have afforded to pay the fine.
According to reports, the defendant and his aunt reside on the same premises. On October 13, the defendant and his aunt used a series of expletives towards each other and were arrested as a result.
Nicholas and his aunt were subsequently released on self bail.
However, on October 14, they continued their unlawful behaviour and both made a report at the station.
Once again Nicholas assaulted his aunt by spitting on her. His aunt retaliated by using a series of expletives once again towards her nephew.
Further, the facts stated that Nicholas then accused his uncle, Devar Kissoon, of threatening him with a gun. Nicholas became afraid and made a report to the station. As a result, the police visited Devar’s home and conducted a search, but found nothing.
The relatives were all arrested and charged.
In relation to the assault charges, Kissoon will return to court next month for continuation.
