North West man accused of biting woman on the head during quarrel over shovel

Sep 01, 2019 News

An 18-year-old man was yesterday hauled before the courts where he was accused of biting a woman to the head during an argument over a shovel.
Ron Bovell pleaded not guilty to the charge, which said that on August 27, 2019 at Turn Basin Port Kaituma, North West District, he assaulted a woman so as to cause her actual bodily harm.
The charge was read to the defendant by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Bovell, who was not represented by an attorney, told the court that he is a labourer who resides in the North West District.
Police Prosecutor, Gordon Mansfield, disclosed that the parties are known to each other.
On the day in question, the parties got into an argument and Bovell allegedly bit the woman on her forehead causing injuries.
He added that the matter was later reported and the defendant was charged for the present offence before the courts.
When given an opportunity to address the court, Bovell said: “I went to borrow and shovel from the neighbours and she [victim] don’t talk to them so because I went and got the shovel from them. She say me and them is friends and that’s what cause the argument but I didn’t injure she.”
Magistrate McLennan then adjourned the matter until November 5, 2019 when it will be recalled at the Matthew’s Ridge Magistrate Court, Region One.
The defendant was released on self bail.
Both parties are to undergo counselling sessions pending the hearing and determination of the matter before the court.
Bovell was ordered not to go within 50 feet of the woman.
