EILEEN Kanhai, of Lot 212 Charlotte Street, Georgetown, has been charged with damaging one mattress worth $45,000, property of Ranesh Singh.

She appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman yesterday and the 41-year-old pleaded not guilty to having committed the offence on Friday, July 19, in her home.
Police Sergeant Vishnu Hunt, prosecuting, said about 20:30 hrs, the defendant was there when the virtual complainant arrived and she informed him that she had nothing to cook and requested a $1,000 so she can get something to eat.
But he became annoyed and, as a result, she damaged the mattress, the posecutor said.
When bail was set at $ 30,000, the woman begged for it to be reduced, explaining that she had no one to lodge the sum.
The magistrate then lowered the surety to $20,000 and scheduled the trial for July 31.
