A 27-year-old man was sentenced to one year imprisonment yesterday, for wounding and assaulting his reputed wife. Mark Sadoo (no address given) pleaded guilty, before Acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, to charges that, on March 3, he unlawfully assaulted and wounded Tejwattie Beepat.
Police Corporal, Jairam Luckhai, prosecuting, said the couple is living together and, that day, they had a misunderstanding and the defendant cuffed Beepat several times about her body causing injuries.
Standing in the dock, Sadoo admitted that he “tripped” after he saw Beepat having sex, in his bed, with another man who was not wearing a condom.
The woman was present in court and displayed visible marks on her face and hands, stating that Sadoo is being deceitful.
