Construction worker charged with chopping and stabbing wife
October 31, 2015 By
A construction worker was on Friday brought before Magistrate Fabayo Azore in Court Five of the Georgetown Magsitrates’ Courts to answer to a charge which alleged that he attacked his reputed wife with a cutlass.
Forty-eight-year-old Andre Robertson of Roxanne Burnham Gardens was not required to plead to the indictable charge which read that on Friday, October 23, at his Roxanne Burnham Gardens residence, he unlawfully and maliciously wounded the Virtual Complainant (VC) Denice Fredricks with the intent to maim, disfigure or cause grievous bodily harm. The Administration of Justice Act was applied and the accused denied the allegation.
According to the facts presented by Police Prosecutor, Corporal Simone Payne, the accused and the VC are reputed husband and wife who have one child together. The prosecution’s facts stated that on the day in question, an altercation occurred between the two over a pair of slippers. Subsequent to the argument, while the VC was getting dressed for work, the accused attacked her with a cutlass and dealt her a chop to her arm and a stab to her abdomen. The accused reportedly injured himself during the incident as well.
The VC argued with the prosecution’s facts differ greatly from what she alleged in her statement. She claimed that it appears that the statements have been tampered with and requested that this be investigated. The Prosecutor objected to bail on the grounds of the seriousness of the offence; adding that the two live together and the accused may interfere with the VC. The Magistrate remanded the man to prison and transferred the matter to Court One for November 5
