Mark Singh was sentenced to two months imprisonment for the assault charge and fined $10,000 for the use of threatening language. He was ordered to pay the fine in one week or a default of one month imprisonment.
Singh of Lot 150 Regent Street, Bourda, Georgetown, pleaded guilty to the charge which stated that on March 11 at the same address, he unlawfully assaulted Sujata Persaud by thrashing her with his boots.
He also admitted that on the same day, he threatened to kill his wife where a breach of the peace may be occasioned.
According to Police prosecutor Adduni Innis, Persaud is the mother of Singh’s three children. She informed the court that Singh was recently released from prison for a similar offence, since he was convicted for six months for a matter involving Persaud.
The Prosecutor related that on the day in question, Singh went to their apartment and during an altercation he picked up his boots and dealt the woman several lashes about her body and also threatened to kill her.
The woman told the Court that she no longer wants “anything to do” with Singh. The unrepresented man told the Court, “meh sorry, it nah go happen next time. I just come out of prison”.
