A man who recently got deported from the US was yesterday placed on $30,000 bail after he appeared before Magistrate Brendon Glasford in the Georgetown Magistrates’s Court.
The charge read that on December 28 at Georgetown, Michael Pitt unlawfully assaulted, Corwin Baksh, so as to cause him actual bodily harm.
The man pleaded not guilty to the charge after it was read to him by the Magistrate at a sitting of the Night Court at the Georgetown Magistrate Court.
Pitt told the court that he was recently deported from the US and he wanted his property because he had nowhere else to go.
When he told Baksh to remove from his property an argument arose between the two which resulted into a scuffle.
Facts presented by Police Prosecutor Preston John stated that on the day in question the defendant asked Baksh to remove from his premises because he wanted to live alone.
Baksh requested from the defendant, a few weeks to get his belonging out of the house because he did not know that the defendant was returning to Guyana.
The defendant who refused to give Baksh extra time got into an argument with him which resulted in him being stomped several times to the chest.
The matter was reported to the Station and the defendant was arrested and charged.
The father of nine will make his next court appearance on January 12.
