Man slaps wife for not sending children to school

RAMKISSOON Sulera, of Portuguese Quarters, Port Mourant , told the Court yesterday that he indeed slapped his wife, as she was in the habit of not sending their four children to school.
The defendant appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court, where he pleaded guilty to a charge of assault.However, he explained that his wife who vends at both Rose Hall and Port Mourant markets is in the habit of not sending their children to school.
Due to the children’s absence, several notices were received from the Department of Education, but his spouse gave no heed to the warnings.
Consequently, on February 20, the couple had a misunderstanding after the defendant slapped his son. As a result, his wife Maylene Harrinarine, rebuked him, and he became annoyed and slapped her. She, in turn, broadsided him with a cutlass before reporting the incident to the police.
After the facts were narrated by Police Inspector Gail Bristol, the magistrate requested that the Probation and Welfare Service personnel look into the interest and welfare of the children .
Sulera was placed on $5000 bail and the case was transferred to the Whim Court for hearing on March 10.
