REPUTED husband Anthony Blair, called Horseman, 38, of Levi Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, was on Friday sentenced to three months imprisonment after he confessed to unlawfully and maliciously wounding his wife, who had slept one night away from home.He agreed with the sentence imposed by Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court, and said he lashed his wife to her nose after she slept out on January 2, last.
The virtual complainant, Venus Laloo, said she went to a friend’s home where she consumed alcohol, and was invited to spend the night.
The following day, she returned home and had picked up two water jars with the intention of filling water. She observed that her reputed husband was burning her stand, and as she inquired his reason for doing so, he dealt her, a lash, to her nose.
In his statement to the Magistrate, the labourer said, “‘Mam’ she left a night and a day I did not know where she went.I was cleaning the fireside when she came home and I took a fire stick and lash she in her face”.
