SHERWIN Belle and his neighbour, Darwin Seaforth, were brought before Magistrate Shurdell Isaacs-Marcus at the Cove and John Magistrate’s court on the East Coast Demerara to answer to unlawful assault charges against each other. The court heard that, on Monday 21st March, at Bareroot, also on the East Coast of Demerara, the two assaulted each other so as to cause actual bodily harm.

They both pleaded not guilty. However, Seaforth alleged that he was only defending himself against Belle after he was attacked by the latter.

Nonetheless, both men were placed on $30,000 bail each, and ordered to keep the peace. (Odella Patterson)
