A MASON was on Friday sentenced to three months imprisonment for unlawfully assaulting his sister.

The court heard that on April 10, 2018 in Georgetown, Daniel Boutrin unlawfully assaulted his sister, Jeverie Boutrin causing her actual bodily harm.
The 20 year old man who resides at Hatfield Street pleaded guilty to the charge that was read out to him before the court.

According to the facts given to the court by Prosecutor Sanj Singh , on the day in question the virtual complainant was preparing her child for school when the defendant and a cousin, Quincy went to visit her at her home.

The cousin told the virtual complainant that the defendant and his grandmother had a conflict because he was demanding money from her. The woman reportedly told the defendant that he needs to stop and find a job in order to take care of his child and the child’s mother. As a result the defendant became annoyed and he pulled out a scissors and stabbed his sister in the left side of her arm.

The woman told the court that it was not the first time her brother assaulted her as it had happened on many occasions. She told the court that she was fearful for her life and wished that her brother be placed on restraining order. Daniel was sentenced to three months imprisonment by Magistrate Leron Daly who advised the virtual complainant that she should get a restraining order before his sentence is up.
