Fisherman on $40k bail for assaulting mother
Kaieteur News-A 24-year-old fisherman was on Tuesday placed on $40,000 bail when he appeared at the Vigilance Magistrates’ Court to answer several charges.
Ravindra Lall of Grass Field Lusignan, East Coast Demerara (ECD) faced six charges which include unlawful assault, throwing missiles and using threating, abusive language against his mother Savitira Visicaar also known as ‘Naderia’.
These incidents occurred on January 4, 2025 at their ECD residence.
Lall also assaulted and caused bodily harm to Visicaar on January 23, 2025. Further, Lall is also accused of unlawfully and maliciously wounding Marvin Harry on January 18, 2025.
The fisherman made his first appearance at the Vigilance Magistrates’ Court before Senior Magistrate Sunil Scarce, who read the charges to him. He pleaded not guilty to all the charges related to his mother and pleaded guilty with explanation for unlawfully wounding Harry.
Lall told the court that it was not his intention to injure Harry. He said that Harry stole two bicycles belonging to him and his brother. Harry, reportedly denied stealing the bicycles and started throwing bricks at Lall.
“He come in my yard to thief my bicycle and we started fighting,” Lall told the court.
Lall said he had a knife in his hands and went to push Harry, and the knife, “ended up boring him.”
Due to Lall’s explanation Magistrate Scarce changed his plea to not guilty.
Meanwhile, Visicaar told the court that she wants nothing to do with her son and does not want him at her home. She refused to pay Lall’s bail indicating to the court that she wants him to be incarcerated.
Lall after hearing his mother’s statements begged for her forgiveness and chance. He said, “This gon be my last chance.” His pleading did not change his mother’s position.
Magistrate Scarce asked the fisherman if he had any other place to stay, to which he responded, “yes, my uncle them gon take me in, because I does go there for food and them does tell me come and live.”
Lall was placed on $20,000 bail for the unlawful and malicious wounding of Harry, as well as $20,000 for assaulting Visicaar.
Additionally, he was placed on self-bail for the remaining charges. His conditions to bail are that he stays 500 feet away from his mother. He is scheduled to return to court on March 17, 2025 for further proceedings.
