Percy James
Percy James, a 41-year-old porter of Canal Bank, Port Kaituma, was brought before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
It is alleged that on May 23, last, at Canal Bank, he unlawfully and maliciously assaulted his estranged wife. He pleaded not guilty to the charge after it was read to him.
In addressing the court, the defendant stated that, “I go by the woman, but now she saying I assault she, and she live like two hours walking time away from me.”
The prosecutor of the matter had no objection to bail, however he asked that conditions should be attached to same. The magistrate then granted bail in the sum of $5,000 under the condition that James is prohibited from going to the premises of the alleged victim.
