Port of Spain Magistrate Indar Jagroo ordered a 44 year old woman to move out the home she shares with her common law husband, after she appeared in before the court charged with breaching a protection order and threatening the victim.

Tshura Belgrave was also granted bail in the sum of $60,000.

She was charged on January 24th with malicious damage and breach of a protection order by WPC James of the North-Eastern Divison Gender Based Violence Unit (GBVU).

The charges arose out of an incident which allegedly occurred on January 22nd in which the woman’s common law husband reported to police that he was allegedly threatened and that his property damaged following an argument.

The man had previously secured an interim protection order from the court which ordered the accused not to emotionally or psychologically abuse him by use of abusive or threatening language, not to make unwelcome or intimidating contact with him, not to enter or stay in his bedroom and not engage in any conduct that constitutes an offence under the Domestic Violence Act.

The order took effect from December 16th, 2020.

Investigations, spearheaded by W/Superintendent (Ag.) Claire Guy-Alleyne and W/Insp Lystra Bridglal, into the report, led to the arrest of the woman who was charged with malicious damage and breach of a protection order.
