TRUCK driver Ricky Williams, apparently took the phrase ‘blood thicker than water literally, when, he, allegedly joined his mother, Veronica Williams and sister, Samantha Williams, to rain blows on his wife, Natasha Williams.
However, despite being outnumbered three to one in the battle, the wife and mother of two, beat her husband and in-laws single-handedly, Magistrate Zamila Ally heard on Wednesday at Cove and John Court.
According to the Police account, the family brouhaha unfolded at Lot 321 Bee Hive, also on East Coast Demerara, where the Williams family live and it followed a prolonged issue between the woman and her in-laws.
With all parties before the magistrate, the Police narrative was that, on Saturday, August 18, Natasha Williams unlawfully assaulted her mother-in- law, sister-in-law and her husband, so as to cause all three of them actual bodily harm.
On the other side, Ricky Williams, his mother and sister were also charged with assaulting Natasha Williams so as to cause her actual bodily harm.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the respective charges and were released on $20,000 bail each, except Natasha Williams, who was ordered to post $30,000. They were, individually, bonded to keep the peace and stay away from one another while the cases are still pending.
But they are to be back in Court on October 10.
