A man who reportedly beat his wife after he found his eight-year-old daughter at home alone was before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday.
Boodnauth Mohadore denied that on April 14, 2018 at Lot 4 Seaforth Street, Campbellville, he assaulted Shebad Mohadore so as to cause her actual bodily harm.
In court on Tuesday, Mohadore told Magistrate Judy Latchman that he was at work and returned in the afternoon to find his daughter at home alone.
He claimed that he attempted to make contact with his wife, who he could not reach. He also told the court that his wife returned home at midnight. He said that when his wife arrived home, an argument ensued. He claimed that the Virtual Complainant (VC) pushed him and then took up a pot spoon to hit him. He further claimed that while attempting to take the spoon from her, she fell.
He also told the court that he was surprised when the Police showed up to arrest him after his wife reported the matter.
The VC, however, told Magistrate Latchman that her husband was an alcoholic who usually assaulted her.
As such, she was advised to seek a restraining order against the defendant and if he breached the restraining order, he would be jailed.
The woman agreed to do same, but asked that the matter be dismissed. As such, the matter was dismissed by Magistrate Latchman.
