Fireman Sentenced To Two Months For Threats

By Newsroom

A fireman was sentenced to two months’ hard labour after pleading guilty to the charges of threats to kill and assault by beating when he appeared before a Siparia Magistrate on Tuesday.

David Ramnath was arrested by officers of the Gender Based Violence Unit (GBVU) on Monday afternoon, after the victim made a report to the Oropouche Police Station.

The woman told police she had an argument with Ramnath over housework, which escalated and he dealt her a blow to her head and made threats to chop her.

Ramnath was informed by police of the offence of assault by beating and threats to kill and was cautioned in accordance with the Judges Rule II.

Ramnath was then taken to the La Brea Police Station, where PC Ramdath conducted further enquiries into the matter and a statement was recorded from the victim, and a medical certificate obtained on the woman’s behalf.
