Stiffer bail is required in some of these cases

Nov 13, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – Again, there is a report (Kaieteur News, November 10, 2021 -16-year-old still critical in hospital following Diwali chopping) of a citizen stepping out of his yard to engage with persons from outside his community to desist from actions that result in noise nuisance.
The outcome of this confrontation is a broken arm and 10 stitches for the citizen and a broken nose, broken cheek bones and possible loss of an eye to the 16-year-old son who went to retrieve his father. For the perpetrators’ freedom at the price of $700,000 at the court while the other is yet to be processed.
Editor, only a few months back, a similar incident led to the death of a Pandit in Berbice, it would seem that the perpetrators of noise nuisance are quick to become violent. What does it say about a society when a citizen cannot enjoy peace and quiet in his/her home? Must we endure the nuisance and pray that the police respond when called to intervene?
Regarding the acts of violence, I humbly believe a stronger deterrent than bail is needed.
Sincerely,
Suryaveer
