FIFTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD painter, Muneshwar Persaud, of Lot 21 First Street, Alexander Village, Georgetown, was, on Wednesday, further remanded to prison when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.

Persaud appeared via Zoom from prison, where the Chief Magistrate informed him that he would receive a copy of the statement containing the allegations made against him.

The Magistrate also advised that, as part of his bail conditions, he would be required to reside at a separate location from the virtual complainant (VC).

When asked if he had another address, Persaud stated that he could stay by a friend but did not provide an exact location. As a result, the Magistrate informed him that the court needed a verified address before bail could be considered.  He was further remanded.

The matter was subsequently adjourned to October 21, 2025.

Persaud was initially remanded to prison on October 6, 2025, when he first appeared before Magistrate McGusty charged with using threatening language and threatening behaviour.

It is alleged that on October 6 at First Street, Alexander Village, Persaud used threatening language and behaviour towards Roshanna Stewart. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Stewart, who lives in a separate house within the same compound as Persaud, told the court that Persaud armed himself with a cutlass, pushed it through the grill of her door, and “threatened arson” as well as to gouge out her eyes.

Stewart claimed that he tends to misbehave when intoxicated but noted that this was the first time he had behaved in such an extreme manner.
