HORSE cart operator, Jimmy George Kowley, allegedly threatened his common law wife after she would repeatedly return home late at nights.

However, Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus, while placing the defendant on a bond until the determination of the case, asked Kowley what would be his address, seeing that he could not return to the home.
The defendant, a six-footer with braided hair, initially seemed stupefied by the question, but responded, “I will go to my mother Fay Homer. She has a house at Bun Bush Dam, East Canje.”
Police said, on May 2 last, Kowley threatened to kill Romona Joseph following an argument at their home, at Patrick Dam, Mount Sinai in Berbice.
Kowley said the mother of his children would leave home, and return late at night. However, after she was questioned and was unable to give a reasonable response, an argument arose resulting in the allegations.
The defendant was placed on $20,000 bail and is expected to return to New Amsterdam Court in Berbice on June 16. (Jeune Bailey Vankeric)
