A BUSINESSMAN of Plaisance, East Coast Demerara was on Thursday placed on $30,000 bail for threatening and assaulting his paramour. 

Before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, Roy Peeres, 44 years, pleaded not guilty to two counts of threatening language and one count of assault.
Particulars of the case stated that on Tuesday, October 28 at Linden, he unlawfully assaulted the mother of his two children, Lisa Paul.
The second charge stated that on September 14 at the same place, he unlawfully assaulted Paul.
It is also alleged that on September 14 at Linden, he also made use of threatening language to the said virtual complainant.
The defendant was represented by attorney-at-law Mr. Gordon Gilhuys. He told the court that the couple has a visiting relationship and do not live together. He noted that he advised his client to desist from meeting the VC and to pay the support for his children to the court.
Gilhuys contended that the offences are not of a serious nature and no injuries were inflicted on the victim.
However, the accused was bonded to keep the peace and told to refrain from having any contact with Paul. He was also ordered to report to the subordinate officer at Sparendaam Police Station every fortnight on Fridays. The matter was transferred to Linden Court for November 5.
