NANHANA Gouvia, 23 years old, had her damage to property charge dismissed when she appeared on Friday 13, December at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court and her mother declined to testify against her.

It was alleged that Gouvia, on December 11 at 404 Section B, Non Pariel, East Coast Demerara, unlawfully and maliciously damaged a mattress valued at $15,000, being the property of her mother Carol Wilson.
Wilson, who was present in court, however, indicated to Magistrate Zamilla Alli that she no longer wished to proceed with the matter since the defendant is her daughter.
The magistrate then dismissed the matter and told Gouvia that she was free to go.
