A FATHER of 12 was yesterday ordered to post $20,000 bail on a charge of using threatening language to his wife, Jackie Rambarrat.
Magistrate Roby Benn set the surety for Chanderpaul Rambarratt, at New Amsterdam Court where the 46-year-old defendant pleaded not guilty to having committed the offence at their home on August 29.
Police Corporal Joseph, prosecuting, said the husband was previously convicted twice on charges of assaulting the virtual complainant and warned several times.
In addition, the delivery clerk is, currently, on a six months bond to keep the peace.
The New Amsterdam Court was told that on the latest occasion, the probationer had returned home under the influence of alcohol and threatened to cut off the woman’s neck and divide her face in two.
He is to face trial at Reliance Court, Canje, also in Berbice, to where the case has been transferred, on September 20.
