Amelia’s Ward man fined $25,000 for assault 

 Fabian Ramdeol, 27, of Lot 1269 Central Amelia’s Ward, Mackenzie, Linden, appeared before Magistrate Clive Nurse on Tuesday and was fined $25,000 with an alternative sentence of two months in prison for the offence of assault.
Ramdeol was charged and tried for assault causing actual grievous bodily harm.
The court heard that the defendant on February 21 at Speightland, Mackenzie, Linden assaulted the Virtual Complainant (VC) Seon Alphonso so as to cause him actual bodily harm.
In handing down the court’s decision, Magistrate Nurse stated that it was the task of the prosecution to prove that an assault was indeed committed on the VC by the defendant and that it resulted in hurt, injury or discomfort of the VC.
The court found that Ramdeol was guilty of assault, but the evidence was not sufficient to support that Alphonso received any actual bodily harm.
