Man accused of wounding ex-paramour remanded
SEAN Jones, 33, of Lot 84 Onderneeming Public Road, West Bank Demerara, was remanded to prison yesterday, charged with unlawful wounding.
Before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, the indictable charge against him said he unlawfully wounded his ex-paramour, Yonette Barrington on Friday, July 19, at Port Kaituma, in the North West District.
Police Sergeant Vernetta Pindar, prosecuting, said, that day, the 42-year-old woman, of Lot 62 Hadfield Street, Georgetown, called out to the accused while he was at a shop, around 19:45 hrs, but he became annoyed because she had returned to Port Kaituma and did not inform him and cuffed her in the face.
He then removed a knife from his pants waist and dealt the virtual complainant several stabs about the body, including her breasts.
The prosecutor said Jones, orally, admitted to the offence when he was told of the allegation and Barrington sought medical attention at the Port Kaituma Hospital before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) where she is still a patient.
In successfully objecting to bail for Jones, the prosecutor said he previously faced a charge of a similar nature involving the same woman.
Despite Defence counsel Trenton Lake denying that Jones has no previous pending matter, the latter was refused pre-trial freedom and the case will next be called at Matthews Ridge Court, also in the North West District, to which it has been sent, on transfer, August 6.
