Elderly women charged for assaulting each other

Two elderly women were on Monday hauled before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts after they were charged for assaulting each other.
Sixty-one-year-old Juel David, of B Field Sophia, Greater Georgetown, pleaded guilty with an explanation to the charge which stated that on February 22, 2019 at Alexander Street, Georgetown, she unlawfully assaulted Cheryl Nickson with intent to cause actual bodily harm.
However, a not-guilty plea was entered on her behalf as she explained to the court that she did not assault Nickson.
On the other hand, Nickson, 52, denied the charge when it was read to her by Senior Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus on Monday.
While no facts were presented on the matter, the prosecution made no objections to bail being granted to the duo.
As such, the women were placed on $10,000 bail each and ordered to return to the court on March 25, 2019.
