FOUR defendants appeared before Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh each charged with assault stemming from soured relationships.
Each of the quartet pleaded not guilty at Albion Court to the offences which were allegedly committed on January 24.They were sent on their own recognisances and are expected to return to Court on February 25.
Audrey Materson is alleged to have unlawfully assaulted Shamhumanie Ramnauth at Belvedere, Corentyne.
But, Defence Counsel Rohan Chandan brought to the Court’s attention to the whelps on his client’s skin.
However, other attorney-at-law Rodwel Judmohan, representing Ramnauth, Seenarine Harrichand and Krishdat Sahadeo said it was Materson, who was the aggressor.
The lawyer said Ramnauth’s relationship with Materson became sour and he went, with his motor lorry, to Black Bush Polder, to uplift his personal belongings from their home but Materson jumped into the vehicle and travelled all the way to Belvedere where the man’s relatives lived.
Police said after Materson arrived at Belvedere, there arose a misunderstanding, resulting in the three defendants assaulting her after she had assaulted a female friend of her husband.
