Kevin Ross, 33, of Prince William Street, Plaisance, West Coast Demerara, was reprimanded and discharged on an assault charge, after he pleaded not guilty to assaulting his elder sister Mrs. O Ross. He had appeared before Magistrate Alex Moore, charged with assault so as to cause bodily harm.
The defendant claimed that he was at home when his sister attacked him over the occupancy of a bedroom. He added that he was defending himself when he bit her on her finger.
Mrs. Ross, who was present in court, reported that her brother habitually harasses her, but nonetheless she loves him dearly, and wishes not to proceed to offer any evidence against him.
That being said, Magistrate Alex Moore discharged the young man.
