TWO neighbours in North Ruimveldt Squatting Area, Georgetown, who appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennan on Thursday, were bonded to keep the peace for the next 12 months.

It happened after they declined to testify against each other and the separate cases of using threatening language were dismissed.
Both Cleveland Watson, a 60-year-old security guard and Vindell Edinburgh, a 61 year-old taxi driver, pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which said, on Tuesday, July 9, at North Ruimveldt Squatting Area, they threatened each other.
Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, said Watson and Edinburgh had a misunderstanding over a fence, after they came home from work.
Watson, who reached first, noticed that a partition had been removed from his property and, as soon as Edinburgh arrived, they were involved in an exchange of words, during which they issued threats to kill one another, the prosecutor related.
In his explanation, Watson admitted that he blamed the other defendant wrongfully, without realising that it was someone else who had tried to steal the fencing.
Edinburgh, in his turn to speak, said he tried to make it clear, to Watson, that he had just arrived on the scene.
