Man faces charge for threatening businessman, wife
Heerall David yesterday found himself being charged for a second time in relation to allegations made by the family of prominent businessman Malcolm Panday.
Previously, in 2015, David, who was an employee of the Panday family, was charged for involvement in fraudulent dealings against the family. This time around, he is charged for using threatening language against the wife of Mr. Panday.
It was alleged that between October 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018 at Georgetown, David used threatening language against Anne Ramsood.
David pleaded not guilty to the charge after it was read to him by Senior Magistrate Leron Daly in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
According to police prosecutor Sanj Singh who presented the facts of the charge, the allegation made out against David in 2015 was withdrawn by the victim. However, as a result of the allegation, the United States visas for David’s wife and children were not processed.

David then began to send threatening language via social media to Ramsood. He was arrested and under caution, admitted to committing the acts out of frustration.
The accused was represented by attorney-at-law Bernard Da Silva. According to Da Silva, his client resides in the United States and is a clerk. He informed the court that David is 44 years old and married with two children.
Moreover, the attorney stated that his client was taken off a flight destined for the US without a court order. He went on to say that David was in custody for three days with no charges properly made out against him.
Da Silva further asked for early dates into the matter as the defendant is at risk of losing his job in the US.
Prosecutor Singh had no objections to bail being granted to the defendant but asked that conditions be attached to the bail.
Magistrate Daly granted bail to David in the amount of $10,000 with the conditions that he report to Criminal Investigations Department (CID) every Monday. He was also placed on a bond to keep the peace and be of good behaviour pending the completion of the matter.
The matter stands adjourned until January 18.
